Charity, by which God and neighbor are loved, is the most perfect friendship.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
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
Image
Art is right reason in the doing of work.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
Just as a man cannot live in the flesh unless he is born in the flesh, even so a man cannot have the spiritual life of grace unless he is born again spiritually. This regeneration is effected by Baptism: Unless a man is born again of water and the Holy Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God (Jn 3:5)
Thomas Aquinas
Image
It is necessary for the perfection of human society that there should be men who devote their lives to contemplation.

Humility is the mark of a genuine disciple.
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
Image
The servants of God...whether provoked by word or work, by keeping themselves tranquil and peaceful, evince a perfect nobleness of soul.

Image
Beware the man of a single book.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
God is not related to creatures as though belonging to a different genus, but as transcending every genus, and as the principle of all genera.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
To restore man, who had been laid low by sin, to the heights of divine glory, the Word of the eternal Father, though containing all things within His immensity, willed to become small. This He did not by putting aside His greatness but by taking to Himself our littleness.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
The perfection of the effect demonstrates the perfection of the cause, for a greater power brings about a more perfect effect. But God is the most perfect agent. Therefore, things created by Him obtain perfection from Him. So, to detract from the perfection of creatures is to detract from the perfection of divine power.
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
I receive Thee ransom of my soul. For love of Thee have I studied and kept vigil toiled preached and taught.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
Give, expecting nothing there of.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
The soul is like an uninhabited world that comes to life only when God lays His head against us.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
If a man deliberately abstains from wine to such an extent that he does serious harm to his nature, he will not be free from blame.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
The things we love tell us who we are.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
Devotion is a certain act of the will by which man gives himself promptly to divine service.
