Thomas Aquinas Quotes:
Ocupation: Priest
Life: January 28, 1225 - March 7, 1274
Birthday: January 28
Death: March 7
The perfection of the effect demonstrates the perfection of the cause, for a greater power brings about a more perfect effect. But God is the most perfect agent. Therefore, things created by Him obtain perfection from Him. So, to detract from the perfection of creatures is to detract from the perfection of divine power.
