Faith does not quench desire, but inflames it.

Now, nothing can be brought from potentiality to actual existence except through something actually existing
Thomas Aquinas
Image
Without doubt one is allowed to resist against the unjust aggressor to one's life, one's goods or one's physical integrity sometimes, even 'til the aggressor's death... In fact, this act is aimed at preserving one's life or one's goods and to make the aggressor powerless. Thus, it is a good act, which is the right of the victim.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
We should love others truly, for their own sakes rather than our own.
Thomas Aquinas

God should not be called an individual substance, since the principle of individuation is matter.

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
For those with faith, no evidence is necessary for those without it, no evidence will suffice.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
We ought to cherish the body. Our body's substance is not from an evil principle, as the Manicheans imagine, but from God. And therefore, we ought to cherish the body by the friendship of love, by which we love God.
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
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
Sin is a spiritual illness thus sinners are in need of salvation.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
The image of God always abides in the soul, whether this image be obsolete and clouded over as to amount to almost nothing or whether it be obscured or disfigured, as is the case with sinners or whether it be clear and beautiful as is the case with the just.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
It is necessary to posit something which is necessary of itself, and has no cause of its necessity outside of itself but is the cause of necessity in other things. And all people call this thing God.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
In order for a war to be just, three things are necessary. First, the authority of the sovereign... Secondly, a just cause... Thirdly... a rightful intention.
