More quotes by Thomas Aquinas
All men are equal in nature, and also in original sin. It is in the merits and demerits of their actions that they differ.
Thomas Aquinas
Moral science is better occupied when treating of friendship than of justice.
Thomas Aquinas
To convert somebody go and take them by the hand and guide them.
Thomas Aquinas
The highest perfection of human life consists in the mind of man being detached from care, for the sake of God.
Thomas Aquinas
Mercy without justice is the mother of dissolution justice without mercy is cruelty.
Thomas Aquinas
We are like children, who stand in need of masters to enlighten us and direct us God has provided for this, by appointing his angels to be our teachers and guides.
Thomas Aquinas
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
The human race was in need of salvation because of the perversity of sin. For when people who are ill are cured from their illness, they are called saved. Therefore, the Lord says: Your faith has saved you.
Thomas Aquinas
Obedience unites us so closely to God that it in a way transforms us into Him, so that we have no other will but His. If obedience is lacking, even prayer cannot be pleasing to God.
Thomas Aquinas
Without doubt one is allowed to resist against the unjust aggressor to one's life, one's goods or one's physical integrity sometimes, even 'til the aggressor's death... In fact, this act is aimed at preserving one's life or one's goods and to make the aggressor powerless. Thus, it is a good act, which is the right of the victim.
Thomas Aquinas
Do not wish to jump immediately from the streams to the sea, because one has to go through easier things to the more difficult.
Thomas Aquinas
Justice is in subjects as well as in rulers.
Thomas Aquinas
One cannot use an evil action with reference to a good intention.
Thomas Aquinas
Love works in a circle, for the beloved moves the lover by stamping a likeness, and the lover then goes out to hold the beloved inreality. Who first was the beginning now becomes the end of motion.
Thomas Aquinas
The test of the artist does not lie in the will with which he goes to work, but in the excellence of the work he produces.
Thomas Aquinas
If all the sins of the flesh are worthy of condemnation because by them man allows himself to be dominated by that which he has of the animal nature, much more deserving of condemnation are the sins against nature by which man degrades his own animal nature.
Thomas Aquinas
Anger and the like are attributed to God on account of a similitude of effect. Thus, because to punish is properly the act of an angry man, God's punishment is metaphorically spoken of as His anger.
Thomas Aquinas
The things that we love tell us what we are.
Thomas Aquinas
For those with faith, no evidence is necessary for those without it, no evidence will suffice.
Thomas Aquinas
Hold firmly that our faith is identical with that of the ancients. Deny this, and you dissolve the unity of the Church.
Thomas Aquinas
