The things that we love tell us what we are. - Thomas Aquinas

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

"The Study of philosophy is not that we may know what men have thought, but what the truth of things is."

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

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

"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."
