For those with faith, no evidence is necessary; for those without it, no evidence will suffice (Thomas Aquinas Quotes)
It is necessary for the perfection of human society that there should be men who devote their lives to contemplation (Thomas Aquinas Quotes)
We must love them both, those whose opinions we share and those whose opinions we reject, for both have labored in the search for truth, and both have helped us in finding it (Thomas Aquinas Quotes)
To pretend angels do not exist because they are invisible is to believe we never sleep because we don’t see ourselves sleeping (Thomas Aquinas Quotes)
We are like children, who stand in need of masters to enlighten us and direct us; God has provided for this, by appointing his angels to be our teachers and guides (Thomas Aquinas Quotes)
Wonder was the motive that led people to philosophy... wonder is a kind of desire in knowledge. It is the cause of delight because it carries with it the hope of discovery (Thomas Aquinas Quotes)
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 Quotes)
Even as in heaven there will be most perfect charity, so in hell there will be the most perfect hate (Thomas Aquinas Quotes)
Man can sin against nature in two ways. First, when he sins against his specific rational nature, acting contrary to reason. In this sense, we can say that every sin is a sin against man’s nature, because it is against man’s right reason (Thomas Aquinas Quotes)
God has need for our worship. It is we who need to show our gratitude for what we have received (Thomas Aquinas Quotes)
It is not possible to be ignorant of the end of things if we know their beginning (Thomas Aquinas Quotes)
Sloth is sluggishness of the mind which neglects to begin good... it is evil in its effect, if it so oppresses man as to draw him away entirely from good deeds (Thomas Aquinas Quotes)
The greatness of the human being consists in this: that it is capable of the universe (Thomas Aquinas Quotes)
I cannot go on... All that I have written seems to me like so much straw compared to what I have seen and what has been revealed to me (Thomas Aquinas Quotes)
Eternity is called whole, not because it has parts, but because it is lacking in nothing (Thomas Aquinas Quotes)
When the devil is called the God of this world, it is not because he made it, but because we serve him with our worldliness (Thomas Aquinas Quotes)
God himself would not permit evil in this world if good did not come of it for the benefit and harmony of the universe (Thomas Aquinas Quotes)
Now this relaxation of the mind from work consists on playful words or deeds. Therefore it becomes a wise and virtuous man to have recourse to such things at times (Thomas Aquinas Quotes)
Pray thee, spare, thyself at times: for it becomes a wise man sometimes to relax the high pressure of his attention to work (Thomas Aquinas Quotes)
A person is disposed to an act of choice by an angel... in two ways. Sometimes, a man’s understanding is enlightened by an angel to know what is good, but it is not instructed as to the reason why... But sometimes he is instructed by angelic illumination, both that this act is good and as to the reason why it is good (Thomas Aquinas Quotes)
If there were some solitary or feral man, the passions of the soul would be sufficient for him; by them he would be conformed to things in order that he might have knowledge of them. But because man is naturally political and social, there is need for one man to make his conceptions known to others, which is done with speech. So significant speech was needed if men were to live together. Which is why those of different tongues do not easily live together (Thomas Aquinas Quotes)
If all the sins of the flesh are worthy of condemnation because by them man allows himself to be dominated by that which he has of the animal nature, much more deserving of condemnation are the sins against nature by which man degrades his own animal nature (Thomas Aquinas Quotes)
Secondly, man sins against nature when he goes against his generic nature, that is to say, his animal nature. Now, it is evident that, in accord with natural order, the union of the sexes among animals is ordered towards conception. From this it follows that every sexual intercourse that cannot lead to conception is opposed to man’s animal nature (Thomas Aquinas Quotes)
A man should remind himself that an object of faith is not scientifically demonstrable, lest presuming to demonstrate what is of faith, he should produce inconclusive reasons and offer occasion for unbelievers to scoff at a faith based on such ground (Thomas Aquinas Quotes)
