Aquinas has many I’m fond of

>beware the person of one book
>Better to illuminate than merely to shine, to deliver to others contemplated truths than merely to contemplate
>Law: an ordinance of reason for the common good, made by him who has care of the community
>Three things are necessary for the salvation of man: to know what he ought to believe; to know what he ought to desire; and to know what he ought to do
>Most men seem to live according to sense rather than reason
>if the highest aim of a captain were to preserve his ship, he would keep it in port forever
>that which we love tells us what we are

>if the highest aim of a captain were to preserve his ship, he would keep it in port forever
that's a good one

its pretty amazing just how right he was

>Rage and sorrow are seated in my heart...so firmly that I scarce dare to stay alive. It seems that God wishes to support the Turks to our loss...ah, lord God...alas, the realm of the East has lost so much that it will never be able to rise up again. They will make a Mosque of Holy Mary's convent, and since the theft pleases her Son, who should weep at this, we are forced to comply as well...Anyone who wishes to fight the Turks is mad, for Jesus Christ does not fight them any more. They have conquered, they will conquer. For every day they drive us down, knowing that God, who was awake, sleeps now, and Muhammad waxes powerful.

t. Templar knight who fought in the Seventh Crusade
