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
Devotion is a certain act of the will by which man gives himself promptly to divine service.
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
If the highest aim of a captain were to preserve his ship, he would keep it in port forever.
Thomas Aquinas
Beware the man of a single book.

We should love others truly, for their own sakes rather than our own.
Thomas Aquinas
