More quotes by Thomas Aquinas
Clearly the person who accepts the Church as an infallible guide will believe whatever the Church teaches.
Thomas Aquinas
The meaning of what is said is according to the motive for saying it: because things are not subject to speech, but speech to things. Therefore we should take account of the motive of the lawgiver, rather than of his very words.
Thomas Aquinas
The Bread of angels has become the Bread of mankind This heavenly Bread puts an end to all images O wonderful reality! The poor, the slave, and the humble can eat the Lord.
Thomas Aquinas
Every truth without exception- and whoever may utter it- is from the Holy Spirit.
Thomas Aquinas
Perfection of moral virtue does not wholly take away the passions, but regulates them.
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

Thomas Aquinas

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
A man does not always choose what his guardian angel intends.
Thomas Aquinas
He who does not embrace the teaching of the Church does not have the habit of faith.
Thomas Aquinas
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
By the divine providence [animals] are intended for man's use... Hence it is not wrong for man to make use of them, either by killing or in any other way whatsoever.
Thomas Aquinas
If the highest aim of a captain were to preserve his ship, he would keep it in port forever.
Thomas Aquinas
All the efforts of the human mind cannot exhaust the essence of a single fly.
Thomas Aquinas
As mariners are guided into port by the shining of a star, so Christians are guided to heaven by Mary.
Thomas Aquinas
