When we die to something, something comes alive within us. If we die to self, charity comes alive if we die to pride, service comes alive if we die to lust, reverence for personality comes alive if we die to anger, love comes alive.

More quotes by Fulton J. Sheen
The difference between the love of a man and the love of a woman is that a man will always give reasons for loving, but a woman gives no reasons for loving.
Fulton J. Sheen
Live each day as you would climb a mountain. An occasional glance toward the summit keeps the goal in mind, but many beautiful scenes are to be observed from each new vantage point. So climb slowly, enjoying each passing moment and then the view from the summit will serve a more rewarding climax for your journey.
Fulton J. Sheen
There are ultimately only two possible adjustments to life one is to suit our lives to principles the other is to suit principles to our lives. If we do not live as we think, we soon begin to think as we live. The method of adjusting moral principles to the way men live is just a perversion of the order of things.
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

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
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
The reason we're bored is because we don't love anything.
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
If all things in this universe exist, it is because they participate in the Being of God, if there are some things with life, it is because they are reflections of the life of God if there are beings endowed with intellect and will - like men and angels - it's because they are a participation of the Sovereign Intellect which is God.
Fulton J. Sheen
Charity is to be measured, not by what one has given away, but by what one has left.
Fulton J. Sheen
The way not to lead a monotonous life is to live for others.
Fulton J. Sheen
Hearing is the motion of molecules sound is a wave in the atmosphere solidity is the characteristic of spatial juxtaposition of atoms smell is something given off by a body, rather than something belonging to a body.
Fulton J. Sheen
Each of us makes his own weather, determines the color of the skies in the emotional universe which he inhabits.
