More quotes by 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
Pride is an admission of weakness it secretly fears all competition and dreads all rivals.
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
Obedience to Truth is obedience to Love.
Fulton J. Sheen
But there was no room at the inn the inn is the gathering place of public opinion so often public opinion locks its doors to the King.
Fulton J. Sheen
Tolerance is an attitude of reasoned patience toward evil... a forbearance that restrains us from showing anger or inflicting punishment. Tolerance applies only to persons... never to truth.
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
Humility is dependence on God as pride is independence of Him. The humble soul is always the thankful soul.
Fulton J. Sheen
Do mathematics have a relation to reality or are they only a mathematical symbol?
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
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
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.
Fulton J. Sheen
In every friendship hearts grow and entwine themselves together, so that the two hearts seem to make only one heart with only a common thought. That is why separation is so painful it is not so much two hearts separating, but one being torn asunder.
Fulton J. Sheen
Too many people get credit for being good, when they are only being passive.
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
Many souls fail to find God because they want a religion which will remake society without remaking themselves.
Fulton J. Sheen
Facts themselves do not give knowledge
Fulton J. Sheen
The mind has three operations: the formation of ideas, judgements and reasoning.
Fulton J. Sheen
Health, power, riches, possessions and honor can be snatched from you, but your will is irrevocably your own.
Fulton J. Sheen
