More quotes by Thomas Aquinas

Thomas Aquinas
It seems that God does not exist because if one of two contraries be infinite, the other would be altogether destroyed. But the word God means that He is infinite goodness. If, therefore, God existed, there would be no evil discoverable but there is evil in the world. Therefore God does not exist.
Thomas Aquinas
This Blood that but one drop of has the power to win all the world forgiveness of its world of sin.

Thomas Aquinas
The greatest kindness one can render to any man consists in leading him from error to truth.
Thomas Aquinas
If the highest aim of a captain were to preserve his ship, he would keep it in port forever.
Thomas Aquinas
If someone knows from experience that daily Communion increases fervor without lessening reverence, then let him go every day. But if someone finds that reverence is lessened and devotion not much increased, then let him sometimes abstain, so as to draw near afterwards with better dispositions.
Thomas Aquinas
There is within every soul a thirst for happiness and meaning.
Thomas Aquinas
Christ was either liar, lunatic, or Lord!
Thomas Aquinas
Moral science is better occupied when treating of friendship than of justice.
Thomas Aquinas
