Aristotle and Saint Thomas

Aristotle and Saint Thomas Aquinas make me smile.  I mean these two men were uber "thought leaders" as they say.  If they were around today, they would both be on TV and all over social media. I don't think anyone could think like these two in the context of their lives and times. And if they were here they would be that much better able to see though a lot of nonsense that is going on . 

Here's a couple good quotes (source brainyquote) from Aristotle for today: 

The worst form of inequity  is to try to make unequal things equal. 

At his best, man is the noblest of all animals; separated from law and justice he is at the worst. 

Here's a couple good quotes (source brainyquote) from Saint Thomas for today:

Happiness is secured through virtue; it is a good attained by man's own will. 

Faith has to do with things that are not seen and hope with things that are not at hand. 

I was lucky enough to go to a very good college, Benedictine College in Atchison, Kansas,  where we had some exposure to Aristotle and Saint Thomas Aquinas.
