Thomas Aquinas
Do not wish to jump immediately from the streams to the sea, because one has to go through easier things to the more difficult.
Thomas Aquinas
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
There must be must be a first mover existing above all – and this we call God.
Thomas Aquinas
No man truly has joy unless he lives in love.
Thomas Aquinas
