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 406 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 406 quotes

Pray thee, spare, thyself at t...

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 406 quotes

The knowledge of God is the cause of things. For the knowledge of God is to all creatures what the knowledge of the artificer is to things made by his art.

We can't have full knowledge all at once. We must start by believing then afterwards we may be led on to master the evidence for ourselves.

Thomas Aquinas 406 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 406 quotes

Reasoning is compared to under...

Reasoning is compared to understanding as movement is to rest, or acquisition to possession.... Since movement always proceeds from something immovable, and ends in something at rest, hence it is that human reasoning, in the order of inquiry and discovery, proceeds from certain things absolutely understood-namely, the first principles; and, again, in the order of judgment, returns by analysis to first principles, in the light of which it examines what it has found. Now it is clear that rest and movement are not to

Thomas Aquinas 406 quotes

He (Mohammed) seduced the people by promises of carnal pleasure to which the concupiscence of the flesh urges us. His teaching also contained precepts that were in conformity with his promises, and he gave free rein to carnal pleasure. In all this, as is not unexpected; he was obeyed by carnal men.

Indeed, the truths that he taught he mingled with many fables and with

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

Thomas Aquinas 406 quotes

In a false person, sacraments do not produce any effect.

Thomas Aquinas 406 quotes

Arrive at knowledge over small streamlets, and do not plunge immediately into the ocean, since progress must go from the easier to the more difficult.

Thomas Aquinas 406 quotes

God's precepts are light to the loving, heavy to the fearful.

Thomas Aquinas 406 quotes

Mary means Star of the sea, for as mariners are guided to port by the ocean star, so Christians attain to glory through Mary's maternal intercession.

I receive Thee ransom of my soul. For love of Thee have I studied and kept vigil toiled preached and taught

Thomas Aquinas 406 quotes

There is nothing in your mind which wasn't experienced before hand.

Thomas Aquinas 406 quotes

The meaning of what is said is...

The meaning of what is said is according to the motive for saying it: because things are not subject to speech, but speech to things. Therefore we should take account of the motive of the lawgiver, rather than of his very words.

Thomas Aquinas 406 quotes

He who is drawn to something desirable does not desire to have it as a thought but as a thing.
