“It is due to neither impotence nor ignorance on God’s part that evils occur in the world, but it is owing to the order of his wisdom and to the greatness of his goodness, whence come the many and divers grades of goodness in things, many of which would be lacking were he to allow no evil to exist. Thus there would be no good of patience without the evil of persecution, nor the good of the preservation of its life in a lion, without the evil of the destruction of the animals on which it lives.” IfsWorldWould BeOrderEvilAnimalGreatnessIgnoranceGoodnessWeaknessDestructionAccountsDuesGradesLionsDiverseLackingPreservationPersecutionPreservation Of Life Author:Thomas Aquinas

“It is dangerous to explain too clearly to man how like he is to the animals without pointing out his greatness. It is also dangerous to make too much of his greatness without his vileness. It is still more dangerous to leave him in ignorance of both, but it is most valuable to represent both to him. Man must not be allowed to believe that he is equal either to animals or to angels, nor to be unaware of either, but he must know both.” KnowsMenBelieveStillsAnimalToo MuchDangerousGreatnessIgnoranceEqualAngelValuablePointing Book:Human Happiness Source: Human Happiness
