More quotes by 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
There is nothing in your mind which wasn't experienced before hand.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
Faith will tell us Christ is present, When our human senses fail.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
In the realm of evil thoughts none induces to sin as much as do thoughts that concern the pleasure of the flesh.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
Sin is a spiritual illness thus sinners are in need of salvation.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
Even as in the blessed in heaven there will be most perfect charity, so in the damned there will be the most perfect hate. Wherefore as the saints will rejoice in all goods, so will the damned grieve for all goods. Consequently the sight of the happiness of the saints will give them very great pain.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
There can be no joy in living without joy in work.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
The perfection of the effect demonstrates the perfection of the cause, for a greater power brings about a more perfect effect. But God is the most perfect agent. Therefore, things created by Him obtain perfection from Him. So, to detract from the perfection of creatures is to detract from the perfection of divine power.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
It is not theft, properly speaking, to take secretly and use another's property in a case of extreme need: because that which he takes for the support of his life becomes his own property by reason of that need
Thomas Aquinas
Image
Down in adoration falling, Lo! the sacred Host we hail Lo! o'er ancient forms departing, Newer rites of grace prevail Faith for all defects supplying, Where the feeble senses fail.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
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
Image
Not everything that is more difficult is more meritorious.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
Whenever God wakes in us, our thinking becomes clear - nothing is missing.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
It is requisite for the relaxation of the mind that we make use, from time to time, of playful deeds and jokes.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
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
Image
Perfection of moral virtue does not wholly take away the passions, but regulates them.
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

Any error about creation also leads to an error about God.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
Christ was either liar, lunatic, or Lord!
Thomas Aquinas
Image
Nothing created has ever been able to fill the heart of man. God alone can fill it infinitely.
Thomas Aquinas
