The egocentric is always frustrated, simply because the condition of self-perfection is self-surrender. There must be a willingness to die to the lower part of self, before there can be a birth to the nobler.

More quotes by Fulton J. Sheen
The wicked fear the good, because the good are a constant reproach to their consciences. The ungodly like religion in the same way that they like lions, either dead or behind bars they fear religion when it breaks loose and begins to challenge their consciences.
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
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
Everything that is full of life loves change, for the characteristic of life is movement toward a new goal and urges toward new pleasures
Fulton J. Sheen
There are angels near you to guide you and protect you, if you would but invoke them. It is not later than we think, it is a bigger world than we think.
Fulton J. Sheen
The workmen in a factory may have a shadowy, unknown absentee employer - the thousands of individual owners of stock - whom management represents and tries to please by extra dividends. The workman's livelihood is at the disposition of strangers who make a single demand of their representatives: higher profits.
Fulton J. Sheen
If I were not a Catholic, and were looking for the true Church in the world today, I would look for the one Church which did not get along well with the world in other words, I would look for the Church which the world hated.
Fulton J. Sheen
Many souls fail to find God because they want a religion which will remake society without remaking themselves.
Fulton J. Sheen
All our anxieties relate to time.
Fulton J. Sheen
If you don't behave as you believe, you will end by believing as you behave.
Fulton J. Sheen
If you do not live what you believe, you will end up believing what you live.
Fulton J. Sheen
Love is a mutual self-giving which ends in self-recovery.
Fulton J. Sheen
Being is the soul of every concept, of every judgment and of every reasoning.
Fulton J. Sheen
We are all born with the power of speech, but we need grammar. Conscience, too, needs Revelation.
Fulton J. Sheen
Communism is the final logic of the dehumanization of man. The industrial civilization of the Western world has no intent to destroy man's freedom or to deny his personality. But Communism does. Denying God, it reduces man to a robot.
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
Charity is to be measured, not by what one has given away, but by what one has left.
Fulton J. Sheen
If we wish to have the light, we must keep the sun if we wish to keep our forests we must keep our trees if we wish to keep our perfumes, we must keep our flowers- and if we wish to keep our rights, then we must keep our God.
Fulton J. Sheen
Too many people get credit for being good, when they are only being passive. They are too often praised for being broadminded when they are so broadminded they can never make up their minds about anything.
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
