More quotes by Fulton J. Sheen
The mark of man is initiative, but the mark of woman is cooperation. Man talks about freedom woman about sympathy, love, sacrifice. Man cooperates with nature woman cooperates with God. Man was called to till the earth, to rule over the earth woman to be the bearer of a life that comes from God.
Fulton J. Sheen
The forgiveness of God is one thing, but the proof that we want that forgiveness is the energy we expend to make amends for the wrong.
Fulton J. Sheen
Never forget that there are only two philosophies to rule your life: the one of the cross, which starts with the fast and ends with the feast. The other of Satan, which starts with the feast and ends with the headache.
Fulton J. Sheen
So the divine love is sacrificial love. Love does not mean to have and to own and to possess. It means to be had and to be owned and to be possessed. It is not a circle circumscribed by self, it is arms outstretched to embrace all humanity within its grasp.
Fulton J. Sheen
Our happiest times are those in which we forget ourselves, usually in being kind to someone else. That tiny moment of self-abdication is an act of true humility: the man who loses himself finds himself and finds his happiness.
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
It was to a virgin woman that the birth of the Son of God was announced. It was to a fallen woman that his resurrection was announced.
Fulton J. Sheen
Unless souls are saved, nothing is saved there can be no world peace unless there is soul peace. World wars are only projections of the conflicts waged inside the souls of men and women, for nothing happens in the external world that has not first happened within a soul.
Fulton J. Sheen
The Christmas gift of peace was the uncoiling of the links of a triple chain that first unites a person with God, then with himself, then with his neighbor.
Fulton J. Sheen
Sometimes the only way the good Lord can get into some hearts is to break them.
Fulton J. Sheen
There are ultimately only two possible adjustments to life one is to suit our lives to principles the other is to suit principles to our lives. If we do not live as we think, we soon begin to think as we live. The method of adjusting moral principles to the way men live is just a perversion of the order of things.
Fulton J. Sheen
Any book which inspires us to lead a better life is a good book.
Fulton J. Sheen
Much suffering in hospitals is wasted.
Fulton J. Sheen
There are 200 million poor in the world who would gladly take the vow of poverty if they could eat, dress and have a home like I do
Fulton J. Sheen
Being is the soul of every concept, of every judgment and of every reasoning.
Fulton J. Sheen
All our anxieties relate to time.
Fulton J. Sheen
Believe the incredible and you can do the impossible.
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
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
But there was no room at the inn the inn is the gathering place of public opinion so often public opinion locks its doors to the King.
Fulton J. Sheen
