Text Quotes
Not everyone who is enlightened by an angel knows that he is enlightened by him (Thomas Aquinas Quotes)
Practical sciences proceed by building up; theoretical science by resolving into components (Thomas Aquinas Quotes)
Characteristics which define beauty are wholeness, harmony and radiance (Thomas Aquinas Quotes)
Mercy without justice is the mother of dissolution; justice without mercy is cruelty (Thomas Aquinas Quotes)
An angel can illumine the thought and mind of man by strengthening the power of vision and by bringing within his reach some truth which the angel himself contemplates (Thomas Aquinas Quotes)
If you seek patience, you will find no better example than the cross. Great patience occurs in two ways: either when one patiently suffers much, or when one suffers things which one is able to avoid and yet does not avoid. Christ endured much on the cross, and did so patiently, because when he suffered he did not threaten; he was led like a sheep to the slaughter and he did not open his mouth (Thomas Aquinas Quotes)
Whatever a man has in superabundance is owed, of natural right, to the poor for their sustenance (Thomas Aquinas Quotes)
The fact that the evil ones, as long as they live, can be corrected from their errors does not prohibit that they may be justly executed, for the danger which threatens from their way of life is greater and more certain than the good which may be expected from their improvement (Thomas Aquinas Quotes)
Of all the pursuits open to men, the search for wisdom is most perfect, more sublime, more profitable, and more full of joy (Thomas Aquinas Quotes)
The world of pure spirits stretches between the divine nature and the world of human beings; because divine wisdom has ordained that the higher should look after the lower, angels execute the divine plan for human salvation: they are our guardians, who free us when hindered and help to bring us home (Thomas Aquinas Quotes)
In the realm of evil thoughts none induces to sin as much as do thoughts that concern the pleasure of the flesh (Thomas Aquinas Quotes)
There being an imminent danger for the faith, prelates must be questioned, even publicly, by their subjects (Thomas Aquinas Quotes)
It may well happen that what is in itself the more certain on account of the weakness of our intelligence, which is dazzled by the clearest objects of nature; as the owl is dazzled by the light of the sun. Hence the fact that some happen to doubt about articles of faith is not due to the uncertain nature of the truths, but to the weakness of human intelligence; yet the slenderest knowledge that may be obtained of the highest things is more desirable than the most certain knowledge obtained of lesser things (Thomas Aquinas Quotes)
For in order that man may do well, whether in the works of the active life, or in those of the contemplative life, he needs the fellowship of friends (Thomas Aquinas Quotes)
All men are equal in nature, and also in original sin. It is in the merits and demerits of their actions that they differ (Thomas Aquinas Quotes)
Affirmative precepts are distinguished from negative whenever one is not comprised in the other; thus, that of honoring parents does not comprise that of not killing, and vice versa (Thomas Aquinas Quotes)
Gods are called many by the error of some who worshipped many deities, thinking as they did the planets and other stars were gods, and also the separate parts of the world (Thomas Aquinas Quotes)
It would be superfluous to receive by faith, things that can be known by natural reason (Thomas Aquinas Quotes)
The splendor of a soul in grace is so seductive that it surpasses the beauty of all created things (Thomas Aquinas Quotes)
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 Quotes)
Mistakes are made on two counts: an argument is either based on error or incorrectly developed (Thomas Aquinas Quotes)
He who is not angry when there is just cause for anger is immoral. Why? Because anger looks to the good of justice. And if you can live amid injustice without anger, you are immoral as well as unjust (Thomas Aquinas Quotes)
He that obstinately denieth the truth before men upon earth, wilfully refuseth his soul’s health in heaven (Thomas Aquinas Quotes)
Law has the power to compel: indeed, the ability to enforce is a condition of the ability to command (Thomas Aquinas Quotes)
Far graver is it to corrupt the faith that is the life of the soul than to counterfeit the money that sustains temporal life (Thomas Aquinas Quotes)
So, to detract from the perfection of creatures is to detract from the perfection of divine power (Thomas Aquinas Quotes)
Man has free choice, or otherwise counsels, exhortations, commands, prohibitions, rewards and punishments would be in vain (Thomas Aquinas Quotes)
Since faith rests upon infallible truth, and since the contrary of a truth can never be demonstrated, it is clear that the arguments brought against faith cannot be demonstrations, but are difficulties that can be answered (Thomas Aquinas Quotes)
Fear is such a powerful emotion for humans that when we allow it to take us over, it drives compassion right out of our hearts (Thomas Aquinas Quotes)
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 Quotes)
