Image
Each of us makes his own weather, determines the color of the skies in the emotional universe which he inhabits.

Image
Never measure your generosity by what you give, but rather by what you have left.
Fulton J. Sheen
Image
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
Image
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.

Image
Advertising tries to stimulate our sensuous desires, converting luxuries into necessities, but it only intensifies man's inner misery. The business world is bent on creating hungers which its wares never satisfy, and thus it adds to the frustrations and broken minds of our times.

Image
The mind has three operations: the formation of ideas, judgements and reasoning.

Obedience to Truth is obedience to Love.

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.

Believe the incredible and you can do the impossible.
Fulton J. Sheen
Image
It is a long established principle of the Church never to completely drop from her public worship any ceremony, object or prayer which once occupied a place in that worship.
Fulton J. Sheen
Image
Every man rejoices twice when he has a partner in his joy. He who shares tears with us wipes them away. He divides them in two, and he who laughs with us makes the joy double.
Fulton J. Sheen
Image
Sometimes the only way the good Lord can get into some hearts is to break them.
Fulton J. Sheen
Image
Modern minds no longer object to the Church because of the way they think, but because of the way they live. They no longer have difficulties with the Creed, but with her Commandments. The heresy of our day is not the heresy of thought, but of action.
Fulton J. Sheen
Image
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
Image
If you don't behave as you believe, you will end by believing as you behave.
Fulton J. Sheen
Image
Atheism, nine times out of ten, is born from the womb of a bad conscience. Disbelief is born of sin, not of reason.
Fulton J. Sheen
Image
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
Image
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.
