Thomas Aquinas
To one who has faith, no explanation is necessary. To one without faith, no explanation is possible.

Thomas Aquinas
A man has free choice to the extent that he is rational.
Thomas Aquinas
The soul, which is the first principle of life, is not a body, but the act of a body just as heat, which is the principle of calefaction, is not a body, but an act of a body.
Thomas Aquinas
