A song is the exultation of the mind dwelling on eternal things, bursting forth in the voice.
Thomas AquinasLaw; an ordinance of reason for the common good, made by him who has care of the community.
Thomas AquinasThe meaning of what is said is according to the motive for saying it: because things are not subject to speech, but speech to things. Therefore we should take account of the motive of the lawgiver, rather than of his very words.
Thomas AquinasIt is altogether unlawful to kill oneself... Wherefore suicide is contrary to the inclination of nature, and to charity whereby every man should love himself... Life is God's gift to man, and is subject to His power, Who kills and makes to live. Hence whoever takes his own life, sins against God... for it belongs to God alone to pronounce sentence of death and life.
Thomas Aquinas
