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.

More quotes by Fulton J. Sheen
The reason we're bored is because we don't love anything.
Fulton J. Sheen
Much suffering in hospitals is wasted.
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
Freedom that ignores the transcendent difference between good and evil ends in the denial of freedom itself.
Fulton J. Sheen
Criticism of others is thus an oblique form of self-commendation. We think we make the picture hang straight on our wall by telling our neighbors that all his pictures are crooked.
Fulton J. Sheen
Health, power, riches, possessions and honor can be snatched from you, but your will is irrevocably your own.
Fulton J. Sheen
Most of us do not like to look inside ourselves for the same reason we don't like to open a letter that has bad news.
Fulton J. Sheen
If you wish to convert anyone to the fullness of the knowledge of Our Lord and of His Mystical Body, then teach him the Rosary. One of two things will happen. Either he will stop saying the Rosary - or he will get the gift of faith.
Fulton J. Sheen
The mind has three operations: the formation of ideas, judgements and reasoning.
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
Each and every one of us, at the end of the journey of life, will come face to face with either one or the other of two faces... And one of them, either the merciful face of Christ or the miserable face of Satan, will say, Mine, mine. May we be Christ's!
Fulton J. Sheen
When the will loves anything that is below it in dignity, it degrades itself.
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
Truth must be sought at all costs, but separate isolated truths will not do. Truth is like life it has to be taken on its entirety or not at all. . . . We must welcome truth even if it reproaches and inconveniences us -- even if it appears in the place where we thought it could not be found.
Fulton J. Sheen
As long as the decent people refuse to believe that morality must manifest itself in every sphere of human activity, including the political, they will not meet the challenge of Marxism.
Fulton J. Sheen
Help someone in distress and you lighten your own burden the very joy of alleviating the sorrow of another is the lessening of one's own.
Fulton J. Sheen
If we had intellectual vigour enough to ascend from effects to causes, we would explain political, economical and social phenomena less by credit sheets, balance of trade and reparations than by our attitude towards God.
Fulton J. Sheen
Jealousy is the tribute which mediocrity pays to genius.
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
A smile across the aisle of a bus in the morning could save a suicide later in the day.
Fulton J. Sheen
