– Thomas Aquinas Quotes –<\/b><\/p>\n
To bear with patience wrongs done to oneself is a mark of perfection, but to bear with patience wrongs done to someone else is a mark of imperfection and even of actual sin.<\/strong> The essence of finite things is separable from their existence.<\/strong> God is not only the first cause of all motion in the finite order, he is also the concurrent cause of all the operations of the natural order.<\/strong> Temperance is simply a disposition of the mind which binds the passion.<\/strong> Perfection of moral virtue does not wholly take away the passions, but regulates them.<\/strong> The forms or ideas of things, therefore, subsist primarily in things rather than as independent extra-mental forms or as mental abstractions resting on examination of things.<\/strong> Sorrow can be alleviated by good sleep, a bath and a glass of wine.<\/strong> 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.<\/strong> All that is true, by whomsoever it has been said has its origin in the Spirit.<\/strong> The highest manifestation of life consists in this: that a being governs its own actions. A thing which is always subject to the direction of another is somewhat of a dead thing.<\/strong> Poets and philosophers are alike in being big with wonder.<\/strong> Philosophy arises from awe, a philosopher is bound in his way to be a lover of myths and poetic fables.<\/strong> Because of the diverse conditions of humans, it happens that some acts are virtuous to some people, as appropriate and suitable to them, while the same acts are immoral for others, as inappropriate to them.<\/strong> The existence of God is not self-evident to reason, but it is demonstrable.<\/strong> Not everything that is more difficult is more meritorious.<\/strong> Human knowledge arises as a result of the intellectual analysis of the forms of things as they area accessible to sense perception.<\/strong> The principal act of courage is to endure and withstand dangers doggedly rather than to attack them.<\/strong> All the efforts of the human mind cannot exhaust the essence of a single fly.<\/strong> A man has free choice to the extent that he is rational.<\/strong> The substances of finite things consist in a union matter and form.<\/strong> 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.<\/strong> Reason in man is rather like God in the world.<\/strong> The finite order receives its existence by ‘participation’ in the divine.<\/strong> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" St. Thomas Aquinas, priest and doctor of the Church, patron of all universities and of students.
