Friendship is the source of the greatest pleasures, and without friends even the most agreeable pursuits become tedious.
From Thomas Aquinas
Faith has to do with things that are not seen and hope with things that are not at hand.
Man cannot live without joy; therefore when he is deprived of true spiritual joys it is necessary that he become addicted to carnal pleasures.
Love takes up where knowledge leaves off.
Now this relaxation of the mind from work consists on playful words or deeds. Therefore it becomes a wise and virtuous man to have recourse to such things at times.
Good can exist without evil, whereas evil cannot exist without good.
How can we live in harmony? First we need to know we are all madly in love with the same God.
We can't have full knowledge all at once. We must start by believing; then afterwards we may be led on to master the evidence for ourselves.
By nature all men are equal in liberty, but not in other endowments.
Happiness is secured through virtue; it is a good attained by man's own will.
