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

"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."

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

"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."

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