Tomasz z Akwinu słynne cytaty

„Nie wolno zmuszać niewiernych do wierzenia, ponieważ wiara musi pochodzić z wolnej woli.”

Infidelium quidam sunt qui nunquam susceperunt fidem sicut Gentiles et Judaei; et tales nullo modo sunt ad fidem compellendi ut ipsi credant, quia credere voluntatis est (łac.)
Suma teologii
Źródło: II, II, q. 10, a.8.

„Widzimy więc, jak zbawienna jest rola wiary. Ale powie ktoś: Jest rzeczą niemądrą wierzyć w to czego się nie widzi.
Odpowiem tak: Nasz umysł jest niedoskonały. Gdyby człowiek mógł sam w pełni poznać wszystko, co podlega zmysłom i co nie podlega, byłoby oczywiście rzeczą głupią wierzyć w to, czego się nie widzi. Niestety nasze poznanie jest… niedoskonałe… Jeśli więc nasz umysł jest tak ograniczony, czy jest sensowną rzeczą poprzestać tylko na tym, co człowiek potrafi poznać własnymi siłami i nie dawać wiary Bogu?
Można odpowiedzieć jeszcze inaczej. Załóżmy, że jakiś uczony wypowiedział się na temat związany z jego wiedzą. Usłyszał to jakiś prostak i powiedział: To nie jest tak, jak on mówi, bo ja tego nie rozumiem. Czy nie będziemy mieli racji, nazywając takiego człowieka głupcem?
Po trzecie… Gdyby człowiek chciał wierzyć w tylko to, co sam pozna, życie na tym świecie byłoby nieznośne. Bo jak można żyć nie wierząc innym? Chociażby w to, że ten właśnie człowiek jest moim ojcem…
Bóg daje dowody, że to czego uczy wiara, jest prawdziwe… Chrystus potwierdził (cudami) nauczanie Apostołów i świętych.
Ale powiesz, że my teraz cudów nie oglądamy…
… przecież teraz ogromna masa ludzi wierzy w Chrystusa. I to nieraz ludzi mądrych, szlachetnych, mających wielkie znaczenie. A stało się to na skutek działalności apostolskiej prostych i ubogich kaznodziejów. Jeśli to się stało w sposób cudowny, masz odpowiedź na pytanie. Jeśli nie – to nawrócenie się świata bez cudu, jest chyba jeszcze większym cudem…
Wypływa stąd wniosek, że nie powinniśmy wątpić w sensowność wiary…”

Summa Theologica (1265–1274), Unplaced by chapter

“Whether God can make the past not to have been?
Objection 1: It seems that God can make the past not to have been. For what is impossible in itself is much more impossible than that which is only impossible accidentally. But God can do what is impossible in itself, as to give sight to the blind, or to raise the dead. Therefore, and much more can He do what is only impossible accidentally. Now for the past not to have been is impossible accidentally: thus for Socrates not to be running is accidentally impossible, from the fact that his running is a thing of the past. Therefore God can make the past not to have been.
Objection 2: Further, what God could do, He can do now, since His power is not lessened. But God could have effected, before Socrates ran, that he should not run. Therefore, when he has run, God could effect that he did not run.
Objection 3: Further, charity is a more excellent virtue than virginity. But God can supply charity that is lost; therefore also lost virginity. Therefore He can so effect that what was corrupt should not have been corrupt. On the contrary, Jerome says (Ep. 22 ad Eustoch.): "Although God can do all things, He cannot make a thing that is corrupt not to have been corrupted." Therefore, for the same reason, He cannot effect that anything else which is past should not have been.
I answer that, As was said above (Q[7], A[2]), there does not fall under the scope of God's omnipotence anything that implies a contradiction. Now that the past should not have been implies a contradiction. For as it implies a contradiction to say that Socrates is sitting, and is not sitting, so does it to say that he sat, and did not sit. But to say that he did sit is to say that it happened in the past. To say that he did not sit, is to say that it did not happen. Whence, that the past should not have been, does not come under the scope of divine power. This is what Augustine means when he says (Contra Faust. xxix, 5): "Whosoever says, If God is almighty, let Him make what is done as if it were not done, does not see that this is to say: If God is almighty let Him effect that what is true, by the very fact that it is true, be false": and the Philosopher says (Ethic. vi, 2): "Of this one thing alone is God deprived---namely, to make undone the things that have been done."
Reply to Objection 1: Although it is impossible accidentally for the past not to have been, if one considers the past thing itself, as, for instance, the running of Socrates; nevertheless, if the past thing is considered as past, that it should not have been is impossible, not only in itself, but absolutely since it implies a contradiction. Thus, it is more impossible than the raising of the dead; in which there is nothing contradictory, because this is reckoned impossible in reference to some power, that is to say, some natural power; for such impossible things do come beneath the scope of divine power.
Reply to Objection 2: As God, in accordance with the perfection of the divine power, can do all things, and yet some things are not subject to His power, because they fall short of being possible; so, also, if we regard the immutability of the divine power, whatever God could do, He can do now. Some things, however, at one time were in the nature of possibility, whilst they were yet to be done, which now fall short of the nature of possibility, when they have been done. So is God said not to be able to do them, because they themselves cannot be done.
Reply to Objection 3: God can remove all corruption of the mind and body from a woman who has fallen; but the fact that she had been corrupt cannot be removed from her; as also is it impossible that the fact of having sinned or having lost charity thereby can be removed from the sinner.”

“We can open our hearts to God, but only with Divine help.”

Quaestiones de veritate disputatae q 24, art. 15, ad 2

“Muhammad seduced the people by promises of carnal pleasure to which the concupiscence of the flesh goads us. His teaching also contained precepts that were in conformity with his promises, and he gave free rein to carnal pleasure. In all this, as is not unexpected, he was obeyed by carnal men. As for proofs of the truth of his doctrine, he brought forward only such as could be grasped by the natural ability of anyone with a very modest wisdom. Indeed, the truths that he taught he mingled with many fables and with doctrines of the greatest falsity. He did not bring forth any signs produced in a supernatural way, which alone fittingly gives witness to divine inspiration; for a visible action that can be only divine reveals an invisibly inspired teacher of truth. On the contrary, Muhammad said that he was sent in the power of his arms—which are signs not lacking even to robbers and tyrants. What is more, no wise men, men trained in things divine and human, believed in him from the beginning, Those who believed in him were brutal men and desert wanderers, utterly ignorant of all divine teaching, through whose numbers Muhammad forced others to become his followers by the violence of his arms. Nor do divine pronouncements on the part of preceding prophets offer him any witness. On the contrary, he perverts almost all the testimonies of the Old and New Testaments by making them into fabrications of his own, as can be seen by anyone who examines his law. It was, therefore, a shrewd decision on his part to forbid his followers to read the Old and New Testaments, lest these books convict him of falsity. It is thus clear that those who place any faith in his words believe foolishly.”

Commentary on the Sentences of Peter Lombard

“O saving Victim, opening wide
The gate of heaven to man below,
Our foes press on from every side,
Thine aid supply, Thy strength bestow.”

Verbum Supernum Prodiens (hymn for Lauds on Corpus Christi), stanza 5 (O Salutaris Hostia)

“The highest manifestation of life consists in this: that a being governs its own actions. A being that is always subject to the direction of another is somewhat of a dead thing.”

Variant translation: Now slavery has a certain likeness to death, hence it is also called civil death. For life is most evident in a thing's moving itself, while what can only be moved by another, seems to be as if dead. But it is manifest that a slave is not moved by himself, but only at his master's command.
