Here are some quotes that have impacted me this semester from the men we've studied. I could try to expound on them, but I think that will do nothing but take away from their depth and inspiration.

"Faith is to believe what you do not see; the reward of this faith is to see what you believe."

St. Augustine

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

St. Thomas Aquinas

“Good can exist without evil, whereas evil cannot exist without good....”

St. Thomas Aquinas

"There is no possible source of evil except good."

St. Augustine

“You don't have a soul. You are a Soul. You have a body.”

C.S. Lewis

"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

"Men go abroad to wonder at the heights of mountains, at the huge waves of the sea, at the long courses of the rivers, at the vast compass of the ocean, at the circular motions of the stars, and they pass by themselves without wondering."

St. Augustine

“Miracles are a retelling in small letters of the very same story which is written across the whole world in letters too large for some of us to see.”

C.S. Lewis

"Miracles are not contrary to nature, but only contrary to what we know about nature."

St. Augustine

“If I discover within myself a desire which no experience in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that I was made for another world.”

C.S. Lewis
