"Faith has to do with things that are not seen and hope with things that are not at hand"
- Thomas Aquinas
About this Quote
Thomas Aquinas' quote speaks to the power of faith and hope in our lives. Faith is the belief in something that can not be seen or shown, such as a greater power or a higher purpose. It is a trust in something that is not concrete, but that can still bring us convenience and strength. Hope, on the other hand, is the belief that something good will be available in the future, even if it is not right away noticeable. It is the optimism that something better is on the horizon, even if it is not yet within our grasp. Together, faith and hope can help us to remain positive and motivated, even in the face of difficulty. They can offer us the courage to keep going, even when the course ahead doubts. Faith and hope can be effective forces in our lives, and Thomas Aquinas' quote advises us of their importance.
