More quotes by Fulton J. Sheen
Whenever man attempts to do what he knows to be the Master's will, a power will be given him equal to the duty.
Fulton J. Sheen
It's impossible to lose your footing when you're on your knees.
Fulton J. Sheen
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
The modern man, finding that Humanism and Sex both fail to satisfy, seeks his happiness in Science ... But Science fails too, for it is something more than a knowledge of matter the soul craves.
Fulton J. Sheen
By the mere fact that we do not go forward, we go backward.
Fulton J. Sheen
If you do not live what you believe, you will end up believing what you live.
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
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
A smile across the aisle of a bus in the morning could save a suicide later in the day.
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
We become like that which we love. If we love what is base, we become base but if we love what is noble, we become noble.
Fulton J. Sheen
One becomes more interested in a job of work after the first impulse to drop it has been overcome.
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
Your unhappiness is not due to your want of a fortune or high position or fame or sufficient vitamins. It is due not to a want of something outside of you, but to a want of something inside you. You were made for perfect happiness. No wonder everything short of God disappoints you.
Fulton J. Sheen
Love is a mutual self-giving which ends in self-recovery.
Fulton J. Sheen
Nothing is more destined to create deep-seated anxieties in people than the false assumption that life should be free from anxieties.
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
At Cana, [Mary] gave Him as a Savior to sinners on the Cross He gave her as a refuge to sinners.
Fulton J. Sheen
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
Skeptics always want miracles such as stepping down from the Cross, but never the greater miracle of forgiveness.
Fulton J. Sheen
