More quotes by Fulton J. Sheen
Nothing ever happens in the world that does not happen first inside human hearts.
Fulton J. Sheen
By the mere fact that we do not go forward, we go backward.
Fulton J. Sheen
The mind has three operations: the formation of ideas, judgements and reasoning.
Fulton J. Sheen
The simple shepherds heard the voice of an angel and found their Lamb the wise men saw the light of a star and found their Wisdom.
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
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
Why is it that any time we speak of temptation we always speak of temptation as something that inclines us to wrong. We have more temptations to become good than we do to become bad.
Fulton J. Sheen
Live each day as you would climb a mountain. An occasional glance toward the summit keeps the goal in mind, but many beautiful scenes are to be observed from each new vantage point. So climb slowly, enjoying each passing moment and then the view from the summit will serve a more rewarding climax for your journey.
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
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
Satan always tempts the pure - the others are already his.
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
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
All worry is atheism, because it is a want of trust in God.
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
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
Patience is power. Patience is not an absence of action rather it is timing it waits on the right time to act, for the right principles and in the right way.
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
Life is like a cash register, in that every account, every thought, every deed, like every sale, is registered and recorded.
Fulton J. Sheen
