More quotes by 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

Thomas Aquinas

Thomas Aquinas
The happy man in this life needs friends.
Thomas Aquinas
Art is right reason in the doing of work.
Thomas Aquinas
Future contingents cannot be certain to us, because we know them as such. They can be certain only to God whose understanding is in eternity above time. Just as a man going along a road does not see those who come after him but the man who sees the whole road from a height sees all those who are going along the road at the same time.
Thomas Aquinas

Thomas Aquinas
Mistakes are made on two counts: an argument is either based on error or incorrectly developed.
Thomas Aquinas
Clearly the person who accepts the Church as an infallible guide will believe whatever the Church teaches.
Thomas Aquinas
To bear with patience wrongs done to oneself is a mark of perfection, but to bear with patience wrongs done to someone else is a mark of imperfection and even of actual sin.
Thomas Aquinas
Sorrow can be alleviated by good sleep, a bath and a glass of wine.
Thomas Aquinas
But man is freer than all the animals, on account of his free-will, with which he is endowed above all other animals.
Thomas Aquinas
What does it take to become a saint? Will it.
