The things that we love tell us what we are. - 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."

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

"The things that we love tell us what we are."

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

"Better to illuminate than merely to shine to deliver to others contemplated truths than merely to contemplate."
