Art is right reason in the doing of work.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
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
Image
Hold firmly that our faith is identical with that of the ancients. Deny this, and you dissolve the unity of the Church.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
It is not possible to be ignorant of the end of things if we know their beginning.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
Beware of the person of one book.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
He that obstinately denieth the truth before men upon earth, wilfully refuseth his soul's health in heaven.
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.
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

The soul is like an uninhabited world that comes to life only when God lays His head against us.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
Charity is not a potency of the soul, because if it were it would be natural. Nor is it a passion, because it is not in a sensitive potency in which are all passions. Nor is it a habit, because a habit is removed with difficulty charity, however, is easily lost through one act of mortal sin. Therefore charity is not something created in the soul.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
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
Image
Mercy without justice is the mother of dissolution justice without mercy is cruelty.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
Just as in one man there is one soul and one body, yet many members even so the Catholic Church is one body, having many members. The soul that quickens this body is the Holy Spirit and therefore in the Creed after confessing our belief in the Holy Spirit, we are bid to believe in the Holy Catholic Church.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
The existence of a prime mover- nothing can move itself there must be a first mover. The first mover is called God.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
Every cell in us worships God.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
There must be must be a first mover existing above all – and this we call God.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
It is a sin to regard the fact that God cannot do the impossible as a limitation on his powers.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
Temperance is simply a disposition of the mind which binds the passion.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
If, then, you are looking for the way by which you should go, take Christ, because He Himself is the way.

All my words are but chaff next to the faith of a simple man.
