Fulton J. Sheen
It's impossible to lose your footing when you're on your knees.
Fulton J. Sheen
The reason we're bored is because we don't love anything.
Fulton J. Sheen
Humility is dependence on God as pride is independence of Him. The humble soul is always the thankful soul.
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
One becomes more interested in a job of work after the first impulse to drop it has been overcome.
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
The mark of man is initiative, but the mark of woman is cooperation. Man talks about freedom woman about sympathy, love, sacrifice. Man cooperates with nature woman cooperates with God. Man was called to till the earth, to rule over the earth woman to be the bearer of a life that comes from God.
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
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
Knowing belongs to man's intellect or reason loving belongs to his will. The object of the intellect is truth the object of the will is goodness or love.
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
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
Too many people get credit for being good, when they are only being passive. They are too often praised for being broadminded when they are so broadminded they can never make up their minds about anything.
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
A smile across the aisle of a bus in the morning could save a suicide later in the day.
Fulton J. Sheen
Charity is to be measured, not by what one has given away, but by what one has left.
Fulton J. Sheen
If you don't behave as you believe, you will end by believing as you behave.
Fulton J. Sheen
Obedience to Truth is obedience to Love.
Fulton J. Sheen
Calamity, war, famine, plague, death, adversity, disease, injury do not necessarily produce repentance. We may become better in a calamity but it does not necessarily make us repent. The essence of repentance is that we cannot be repentant until we confront our own self righteousness with God's righteousness.
Fulton J. Sheen
