A man has free choice to the extent that he is rational.
Thomas Aquinas

All that is true, by whomsoever it has been said has its origin in the Spirit.
Thomas Aquinas

All the efforts of the human mind cannot exhaust the essence of a single fly.
Thomas Aquinas

As regards the individual nature, woman is defective and misbegotten, for the active power of the male seed tends to the production of a perfect likeness in the masculine sex; while the production of a woman comes from defect in the active power.
Thomas Aquinas

Because of the diverse conditions of humans, it happens that some acts are virtuous to some people, as appropriate and suitable to them, while the same acts are immoral for others, as inappropriate to them.
Thomas Aquinas

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.
Thomas Aquinas

Because we cannot know what God is, but only what He is not, we cannot consider how He is but only how He is not.
Thomas Aquinas

Better to illuminate than merely to shine, to deliver to others contemplated truths than merely to contemplate.
Thomas Aquinas

Beware of the person of one book.
Thomas Aquinas

By nature all men are equal in liberty, but not in other endowments.
Thomas Aquinas

Clearly the person who accepts the Church as an infallible guide will believe whatever the Church teaches.

Distinctions drawn by the mind are not necessarily equivalent to distinctions in reality.
Thomas Aquinas

Every judgement of conscience, be it right or wrong, be it about things evil in themselves or morally indifferent, is obligatory, in such wise that he who acts against his conscience always sins.
Thomas Aquinas

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

Friendship is the source of the greatest pleasures, and without friends even the most agreeable pursuits become tedious.
Thomas Aquinas

God should not be called an individual substance, since the principal of individuation is matter.
Thomas Aquinas

Good can exist without evil, whereas evil cannot exist without good.
Thomas Aquinas

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

Hold firmly that our faith is identical with that of the ancients. Deny this, and you dissolve the unity of the Church.
Thomas Aquinas

How can we live in harmony? First we need to know we are all madly in love with the same God.

The Eat Sheet: Thomas Keller and Michael Voltaggio Do Affordable Eats

Celebrity chef Keller debuts Bouchon Bakery in Beverly Hills, while the Top Chef winner slings sandwiches.

Renowned French Laundry chef Thomas Keller is set to open Bouchon Bakery on August 16 in Beverly Hills. The fourth outpost of his original Parisian-style pastry-and-baguette shop in the Napa Valley town of Yountville, the bakery is situated just below his Bouchon Bistro and next to Bar Bouchon, across from the Montage Beverly Hills Hotel.

If you can't wait until Tuesday for a brownie-like Chocolate Bouchon (pictured below) or a Pain Au Raisin, get on the list for the friends and family preview happening over the two days before the grand opening.

Meanwhile, tattooed Top Chef Season 6 winner Michael Voltaggio surprised foodies with the launch of a new sandwich shop, Ink: Sack (the name, we admit, sounds a little off.) two days ago. Food bloggers — invited to preview the décor of his long-awaited restaurant Ink, on Melrose Avenue — were afterwards taken next door to see his new sandwich space … which he announced would open in 48 hours.

The chef, known for his virtuoso experiments in molecular gastronomy, passed out much less complicated fare to the small crowd. The fare includes the C.L.T. sandwich (chicken liver mousse, curried chicken skin, lettuce and tomato) and a beef tongue Reuben. Most of the items on the menu are priced between $4 and $6.

Don’t expect such prices two doors down when Ink (which counts Michael Ovitz as an investor) opens. The restaurant is expected to debut in September after major delays due to permit red tape. “I feel like a jack-in-the-box that somebody’s been cranking and cranking, and finally the top just broke,” Voltaggio told Grub Street LA on Tuesday. Apparently, all of his permits have now passed muster.

Bouchon Bakery: 235 North Canon Drive, Beverly Hills, 310-271-9910

Ink Sack: 8360 Melrose Avenue, Los Angeles

WatsonWould you like me to give you a formula for success? It's quite simple, really. Double your rate of failure. You are thinking of failure as the enemy of success. But it isn't as all. You can be discouraged by failure - or you can learn from it. So go ahead and make mistakes. Make all you can. Because, remember, that's where you will find success. Thomas J. Watson
