More quotes by Fulton J. Sheen
The denial of the right of ownership to a man is a denial of his basic freedom: freedom without property is always incomplete. To be secured - but with no accompanying responsibility - is to be the slave of whatever group provides the security.
Fulton J. Sheen
Liberty is no heirloom. It requires the daily bread of self-denial, the salt of law and, above all, the backbone of acknowledging responsibility for our deeds.
Fulton J. Sheen
To fall in love means to fall into something... And that something is responsibility.
Fulton J. Sheen
Calamity, war, famine, plague, death, adversity, disease, injury do not necessarily produce repentance. We may become better in a calamity but it does not necessarily make us repent. The essence of repentance is that we cannot be repentant until we confront our own self righteousness with God's righteousness.
Fulton J. Sheen
Obedience to Truth is obedience to Love.
Fulton J. Sheen
Broadmindedness, when it means indifference to right and wrong, eventually ends in a hatred of what is right.
Fulton J. Sheen
Satan always tempts the pure - the others are already his.
Fulton J. Sheen
God does not love us because we are valuable. We are valuable because God loves us.
Fulton J. Sheen
The greatest love story of all time is contained in a tiny white Host.
Fulton J. Sheen

Fulton J. Sheen
Nothing ever happens in the world that does not happen first inside human hearts.
Fulton J. Sheen
The way not to lead a monotonous life is to live for others.
Fulton J. Sheen
The old liberal rebelled against taxation without responsibility, the new liberal wants the taxation as a handout without responsibility.
Fulton J. Sheen
A woman gets angry when a man denies his faults, because she knew them all along. His lying mocks her affection it is the deceit that angers her more than the faults.
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
It's impossible to lose your footing when you're on your knees.
Fulton J. Sheen
God has given different gifts to different people. There is no basis for feeling inferior to another who has a different gift. Once it is realized that we shall be judged by the gift we have received, rather than the gift we have not, one is completely delivered from a false sense of inferiority.
Fulton J. Sheen
The only way to win audiences is to tell people about the life and death of Christ. Every other approach is a waste.
Fulton J. Sheen
All our anxieties relate to time.
Fulton J. Sheen
Sex has become one of the most discussed subjects of modern times. The Victorians pretended it did not exist the moderns pretend nothing else exists.
Fulton J. Sheen
