Thomas Aquinas

Thomas Aquinas
Image
We must love them both, those whose opinions we share and those whose opinions we reject, for both have labored in the search for truth, and both have helped us in finding it.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
To bear with patience wrongs done to oneself is a mark of perfection, but to bear with patience wrongs done to someone else is a mark of imperfection and even of actual sin.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
The soul is like an uninhabited world that comes to life only when God lays His head against us.
Thomas Aquinas

It is a sin to regard the fact that God cannot do the impossible as a limitation on his powers.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
Just as in one man there is one soul and one body, yet many members even so the Catholic Church is one body, having many members. The soul that quickens this body is the Holy Spirit and therefore in the Creed after confessing our belief in the Holy Spirit, we are bid to believe in the Holy Catholic Church.
