St. Thomas Aquinas are all talking about all the beautiful limited to colorful filling the world, their principles but the United States entity. God is infinite beauty, the beauty of its creation, the natural beauty of the United States is limited. To discourse on the body, beauty and good, regardless, with a "have" a perfect, because the United States as good, regardless of the main aspects. Because all things are built on the same, that is the same form, this has also been cited as good the United States, in this case good and beauty has become one of the. Because they are divided by the "a" sound but the same, the result of the good is the same. Thomas Aquinas in the United States and good, but also indicate to us, not because I am craving something beautiful and it is, but because he not only U.S. but also good, just as we are craving. The basic principles of the United States of America is unified, tuning, light of its own grounds, the existence of the United States, that is the reason why the United States for the United States: a unified by the management, tuning and light, it should be the expression of light, which is the ratio of fitness of tuning. St. Thomas Aquinas observed that all beauty was finite and filled the world with colorfulness, whose principle was the substance of beauty. Jehovah was infinite beauty, while the beauty of nature, created by Jehovah, was finite. Ontologically, beauty and good are one ; they are both the perfection of "existence," since beauty is ontologically inseparable from good. Established in the same things and forms, good is also called beauty. In that case, good and beauty become one. Since they both derive from the perfection of "existence," the original good they form is the same. In respect of beauty and good, Aquinas also informed that we loved something not for its beauty but for its beauty and good. The basic principle of beauty is unity, harmony and brightness
