There is but one Church in which men find salvation, just as outside the ark of Noah it was not possible for anyone to be saved.
Thomas AquinasWonder was the motive that led people to philosophy ... wonder is a kind of desire in knowledge. It is the cause of delight because it carries with it the hope of discovery.
Thomas AquinasBehold our refutation of the error. It is not based on documents of faith, but on the reasons and statements of the philosophers themselves. If then anyone there be who, boastfully taking pride in his supposed wisdom, wishes to challenge what we have written, let him not do it in some corner nor before children who are powerless to decide on such difficult matters. Let him reply openly if he dare. He shall find me there confronting him, and not only my negligible self, but many another whose study is truth.
Thomas AquinasHold firmly that our faith is identical with that of the ancients. Deny this, and you dissolve the unity of the Church.
