Thomas Aquinas

The truth of our faith becomes a matter of ridicule among the infidels if any Catholic, not gifted with the necessary scientific learning, presents as dogma what scientific scrutiny shows to be false.

Faith has to do with things that are not seen and hope with things that are not at hand.

To one who has faith, no explanation is necessary. To one without faith, no explanation is possible.

How can we live in harmony? First we need to know we are all madly in love with the same God.

The things that we love tell us what we are.

Love takes up where knowledge leaves off.

Moral science is better occupied when treating of friendship than of justice.

Friendship is the source of the greatest pleasures, and without friends even the most agreeable pursuits become tedious.

There is nothing on this earth more to be prized than true friendship.

The things that we love tell us what we are.
