More quotes by Thomas Aquinas

"Because philosophy arises from awe, a philosopher is bound in his way to be a lover of myths and poetic fables. Poets and philosophers are alike in being big with wonder."
"The Study of philosophy is not that we may know what men have thought, but what the truth of things is."
"Better to illuminate than merely to shine to deliver to others contemplated truths than merely to contemplate."
"The things that we love tell us what we are."
"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."
