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
Love is the key to the mystery. Love by its very nature is not selfish, but generous. It seeks not its own, but the good of others. The measure of love is not the pleasure it gives-that is the way the world judges it-but the joy and peace it can purchase for others.
Fulton J. Sheen
All worry is atheism, because it is a want of trust in God.
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
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

Fulton J. Sheen
Books are the most wonderful friends in the world. When you meet them and pick them up, they are always ready to give you a few ideas. When you put them down, they never get mad when you take them up again, they seem to enrich you all the more.
Fulton J. Sheen
Charity is to be measured, not by what one has given away, but by what one has left.
Fulton J. Sheen
In vocal prayer we go to God on foot. In meditation we go to God on horseback. In contemplation we go to God in a jet.
