Secondly, man sins against nature when he goes against his generic nature, that is to say, his animal nature. Now, it is evident that, in accord with natural order, the union of the sexes among animals is ordered towards conception. From this it follows that every sexual intercourse that cannot lead to conception is opposed to man's animal nature.
Thomas Aquinas

It would seem that zeal is not an effect of love. For zeal is a beginning of contention.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
In order for a war to be just, three things are necessary. First, the authority of the sovereign... Secondly, a just cause... Thirdly... a rightful intention.
Thomas Aquinas

Nothing created has ever been able to fill the heart of man. God alone can fill it infinitely.
Thomas Aquinas
