Peter Kreeft
“Other possible means were not lacking on God’s part.” One drop of blood—from Christ’s circumcision at the age of eight days—would have been sufficient to purchase all mankind’s salvation. Why then did He give us twelve quarts instead of one drop? The simple and stunning answer, from Monica Miller’s book on the movie “The Passion of the Christ”, is: Because He had twelve quarts to give. The strategy of war and of games is to win with the minimum possible expense and sacrifice. Love does not seek the minimum but the maximum.”
Peter Kreeft, Practical Theology: Spiritual Direction from Saint Thomas Aquinas

Thomas Aquinas
“To love is to will the good of the other.”
Saint Thomas Aquinas

Jim Gaffigan
“I used to have a lot of faith in humanity before the advent of the website "comment" section.”
Jim Gaffigan, Dad Is Fat

Thomas Aquinas
“Man cannot live without joy. That is why one deprived of spiritual joys goes over to carnal pleasures.”
Saint Thomas Aquinas

Peter Kreeft
“The person who is committing the sin of sloth may be doing nothing visible that is wrong. Yet he is rejecting the presence of God, refusing the joy of love.”
Peter Kreeft, Practical Theology: Spiritual Direction from Saint Thomas Aquinas
