More quotes by Thomas Aquinas
Beware of the person of one book.
Thomas Aquinas
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
He who does not embrace the teaching of the Church does not have the habit of faith.
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
The meaning of what is said is according to the motive for saying it: because things are not subject to speech, but speech to things. Therefore we should take account of the motive of the lawgiver, rather than of his very words.
Thomas Aquinas
I cannot go on.... All that I have written seems to me like so much straw compared to what I have seen and what has been revealed to me.
Thomas Aquinas
Art is right reason in the doing of work.
Thomas Aquinas
The minister to whom confession is made is the delegate of Christ, Who is the Judge of the living and the dead.
Thomas Aquinas
By nature all men are equal in liberty, but not in other endowments.
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
The truth of our faith becomes a matter of ridicule among the infidels if any Catholic, not gifted with the necessary scientific learning, presents as dogma what scientific scrutiny shows to be false.
Thomas Aquinas
Charity, by which God and neighbor are loved, is the most perfect friendship.
Thomas Aquinas
The greatness of the human being consists in this: that it is capable of the universe.
Thomas Aquinas
Faith will tell us Christ is present, When our human senses fail.
Thomas Aquinas
To disparage the dictate of reason is equivalent to contemning the command of God.
Thomas Aquinas
Moral science is better occupied when treating of friendship than of justice.
Thomas Aquinas
The things we love tell us who we are.
Thomas Aquinas
Concerning perfect blessedness which consists in a vision of God.
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
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
