Thomas Aquinas
Because we cannot know what God is, but only what He is not, we cannot consider how He is but only how He is not.
Thomas Aquinas
One cannot use an evil action with reference to a good intention.
Thomas Aquinas
Wonder is the desire of knowledge.
Thomas Aquinas
Faith will tell us Christ is present, When our human senses fail.
Thomas Aquinas
You change people by delight, by pleasure.
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
To teach in order to lead others to faith is the task of every preacher and of each believer.
Thomas Aquinas
