Since different men are naturally inclined to different things (some to pleasure, others to honor, and others to still other things), it follows that different things are good for different men -- and thus there is not one natural law for all.

Do you really think that Aquinas held this?

Aquinas says that our natural inclinations must be directed according to reason -- and that it is universally right for all men that their inclinations be directed this way.
This suggests that we pick out what is good by subjecting our inclinations to reason -- and then seeing what we desire. It also suggests that the basic principle is that we ought to be reasonable.
