Thomas Aquinas
  • Love takes up where knowledge leaves off.

  • 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.

  • Wonder is the desire for knowledge.

  • The knowledge of God is the cause of things. For the knowledge of God is to all creatures what the knowledge of the artificer is to things made by his art.

  • 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.
