More quotes by Fulton J. Sheen
When the will loves anything that is below it in dignity, it degrades 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
One becomes more interested in a job of work after the first impulse to drop it has been overcome.
Fulton J. Sheen

Fulton J. Sheen
No man discovers anything big if he does not make himself small.
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
The greatest love story of all time is contained in a tiny white Host.
Fulton J. Sheen

Fulton J. Sheen
If you do not live what you believe, you will end up believing what you live.
Fulton J. Sheen
The wicked fear the good, because the good are a constant reproach to their consciences. The ungodly like religion in the same way that they like lions, either dead or behind bars they fear religion when it breaks loose and begins to challenge their consciences.
Fulton J. Sheen
Nothing ever happens in the world that does not happen first inside human hearts.
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
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
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
Charity is to be measured, not by what one has given away, but by what one has left.
Fulton J. Sheen
All worry is atheism, because it is a want of trust in God.
Fulton J. Sheen
