Excerpt from Sancti Thomae Aquinatis Doctoris Angelici Ordinis Praedicatorum Commentum, Vol. 2: In Quatuor Libros Sententiarum; Complectens Tertium Et Quartum Librum
Sed contra est quod Deus plus potest faccie quam homo potest dicere. Luc. I, 57: Non erit impossibile apud Deum omne verbum. Sed hac homo potest dicere, scilicet Deum humanum na turam assumere; nec contradictionem implicat, nec aliquem defectum in Deo ponit hoc dictum. Ergo Deus multo fortins hoc facere potest.

Thomas Aquinas was an immensely influential philosopher and theologian in the tradition of scholasticism, known as Doctor Angelicus and Doctor Communis.
He was the foremost classical proponent of natural theology, and the father of the Thomistic school of philosophy and theology. His influence on Western thought is considerable, and much of modern philosophy was conceived as a reaction against, or as an agreement with, his ideas, particularly in the areas of ethics, natural law and political theory.
The philosophy of Aquinas has exerted enormous influence on subsequent Christian theology, especially that of the Roman Catholic Church, extending to Western philosophy in general, where he stands as a vehicle and modifier of Aristotelianism, which he fused with the thought of Augustine.
