More quotes by 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
Perfection of moral virtue does not wholly take away the passions, but regulates them.
Thomas Aquinas
The highest manifestation of life consists in this: that a being governs its own actions. A thing which is always subject to the direction of another is somewhat of a dead thing.
Thomas Aquinas
There is nothing in your mind which wasn't experienced before hand.
Thomas Aquinas
For just as the first general precepts of the law of nature are self-evident to one in possession of natural reason, and have no need of promulgation, so also that of believing in God is primary and self-evident to one who has faith: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is.
Thomas Aquinas
God is never angry for His sake, only for ours.
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
The celestial bodies are the cause of all that takes place in the sublunar world.
Thomas Aquinas
We set forth our petitions before God, not in order to make known to Him our needs and desires, but rather so that we ourselves may realize that in these things it is necessary to turn to God for help.
Thomas Aquinas
Thus Angels' Bread is made The Bread of man today: The Living Bread from Heaven With figures doth away: O wondrous gift indeed! The poor and lowly may Upon their Lord and Master feed.
Thomas Aquinas
The existence of a prime mover- nothing can move itself there must be a first mover. The first mover is called God.
Thomas Aquinas
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
Likewise grace and glory are referred to the same genus, since grace is nothing other than a certain first beginning of glory in us.
Thomas Aquinas
Characteristics which define beauty are wholeness, harmony and radiance.
Thomas Aquinas
The Angel's bread is made the Bread of man today.
Thomas Aquinas
The things that we love tell us what we are.
Thomas Aquinas
How can we live in harmony? First we need to know we are all madly in love with the same God.
Thomas Aquinas
Art is right reason in the doing of work.
Thomas Aquinas
Whatever is received is received according to the nature of the recipient.
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
