Several from Aquinas

(St. Thomas Aquinas - found here)

“Those who hear the Word of God, by Truth are fed.”

“Love takes up where knowledge leaves off.”

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

“God is never angry for His sake, only for ours.”

“Most men seem to live according to sense rather than reason.”

“Therefore, in order that the salvation of men might be brought about more fitly and more surely, it was necessary that they should be taught divine truths by divine revelation. It was therefore necessary that besides philosophical science built up by reason, there should be a sacred science learned through revelation.”

“It is requisite for the relaxation of the mind that we make use, from time to time, of playful deeds and jokes.”

“We must love them both, those whose opinions we share and those whose opinions we reject, for both have labored in the search for truth, and both have helped us in finding it.”

“Because philosophy arises from awe, a philosopher is bound in his way to be a lover of myths and poetic fables. Poets and philosophers are alike in being big with wonder.”

~St. Thomas Aquinas
