The greatest love story of all time is contained in a tiny white Host.
Fulton J. Sheen
Books are the most wonderful friends in the world. When you meet them and pick them up, they are always ready to give you a few ideas. When you put them down, they never get mad when you take them up again, they seem to enrich you all the more.
Fulton J. Sheen
Too many people get credit for being good, when they are only being passive.
Fulton J. Sheen
The history of civilization could actually be written in terms of the level of its women.
Fulton J. Sheen
If you do not worship God, you worship something, and nine times out of ten it will be yourself. You have a duty to worship God, not because He will be imperfect and unhappy if you do not, but because you will be imperfect and unhappy.
Fulton J. Sheen
We become like that which we love. If we love what is base, we become base but if we love what is noble, we become noble.
Fulton J. Sheen
The slave states of Western world are an outgrowth of monopolistic capitalism - an economic system which is opposed to the wide distribution of private property in many hands. Instead, monopolistic capitalism concentrates productive wealth among a few men, allowing the rest to become a vast proletariat.
Fulton J. Sheen
As a man must be born before he can begin to lead his physical life, so he must be born to lead a Divine Life. That birth occurs in the Sacrament of Baptism. To survive, he must be nourished by Divine Life that is done in the Sacrament of the Holy Eucharist.
Fulton J. Sheen
Baloney is flattery laid on so thick it cannot be true, and blarney is flattery so thin we love it.
Fulton J. Sheen
You have a chance to move in far better society than the Joneses. Why worry about keeping up with the Joneses? Keep up with the Angels and you'll be far wiser and happier.
Fulton J. Sheen
All our anxieties relate to time.
Fulton J. Sheen
The mark of the Christian is the willingness to look for the Divine in the flesh of a babe in a crib, the continuing Christ under the appearance of bread on an altar, and a meditation and a prayer on a string of beads
Fulton J. Sheen
It is a long established principle of the Church never to completely drop from her public worship any ceremony, object or prayer which once occupied a place in that worship.
Fulton J. Sheen
Hearing is the motion of molecules sound is a wave in the atmosphere solidity is the characteristic of spatial juxtaposition of atoms smell is something given off by a body, rather than something belonging to a body.
Fulton J. Sheen
To see a priest making his meditation before Mass does more for an altar boy's vocation than a thousand pieces of inspirational literature.
Fulton J. Sheen
Much suffering in hospitals is wasted.
Fulton J. Sheen
Health, power, riches, possessions and honor can be snatched from you, but your will is irrevocably your own.
Fulton J. Sheen
Modern minds no longer object to the Church because of the way they think, but because of the way they live. They no longer have difficulties with the Creed, but with her Commandments. The heresy of our day is not the heresy of thought, but of action.
Fulton J. Sheen
Whenever man attempts to do what he knows to be the Master's will, a power will be given him equal to the duty.
Fulton J. Sheen
Knowing belongs to man's intellect or reason loving belongs to his will. The object of the intellect is truth the object of the will is goodness or love.
Fulton J. Sheen
