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

"The soul is like an uninhabited worldthat comes to life only whenGod lays His headagainst us."

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

"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."

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

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