More quotes by Fulton J. Sheen
The Rosary is the best therapy for these distraught, unhappy, fearful, and frustrated souls, precisely because it involves the simultaneous use of three powers: the physical, the vocal, and the spiritual, and in that order.
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
To see a priest making his meditation before Mass does more for an altar boy's vocation than a thousand pieces of inspirational literature.
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
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
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
Love is a mutual self-giving which ends in self-recovery.
Fulton J. Sheen
Life is like a cash register, in that every account, every thought, every deed, like every sale, is registered and recorded.
Fulton J. Sheen
When we try to make everything clear, we make everything confused. If, however, we admit one mysterious thing in the universe, then everything else becomes clear in the light of that. The sun is so bright, so mysterious, that one cannot look at it, and yet in the light of the sun everything else is seen.
Fulton J. Sheen
Jealousy is the tribute which mediocrity pays to genius.
Fulton J. Sheen
The refusal to take sides on great moral issues is itself a decision. It is a silent acquiescence to evil. The Tragedy of our time is that those who still believe in honesty lack fire and conviction, while those who believe in dishonesty are full of passionate conviction.
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
Much suffering in hospitals is wasted.
Fulton J. Sheen
The greatest love story of all time is contained in a tiny white Host.
Fulton J. Sheen
The mark of the Christian is the willingness to look for the Divine in the flesh of a babe in a crib, the continuing Christ under the appearance of bread on an altar, and a meditation and a prayer on a string of beads
Fulton J. Sheen
The slave states of Western world are an outgrowth of monopolistic capitalism - an economic system which is opposed to the wide distribution of private property in many hands. Instead, monopolistic capitalism concentrates productive wealth among a few men, allowing the rest to become a vast proletariat.
Fulton J. Sheen
The only time laughter is wicked is when it is turned against Him Who gave it.
Fulton J. Sheen
Love was meant to be also a sign, a symbol, a messenger, a telltale of the Divine. Love is a messenger from God saying that every human affection and every ecstasy of love are sparks from the great flame of love that is God.
Fulton J. Sheen
Each of us makes his own weather, determines the color of the skies in the emotional universe which he inhabits.
Fulton J. Sheen
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
