Image
The mind has three operations: the formation of ideas, judgements and reasoning.

Image
The denial of the right of ownership to a man is a denial of his basic freedom: freedom without property is always incomplete. To be secured - but with no accompanying responsibility - is to be the slave of whatever group provides the security.
Fulton J. Sheen
Image
Life is like a cash register, in that every account, every thought, every deed, like every sale, is registered and recorded.
Fulton J. Sheen
Image
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.

If we wish to have the light, we must keep the sun if we wish to keep our forests we must keep our trees if we wish to keep our perfumes, we must keep our flowers- and if we wish to keep our rights, then we must keep our God.

Fulton J. Sheen
Image
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
Image
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.

Image
Remember that every science is based upon an abstraction. An abstraction is taking a point of view or looking at things under a certain aspect or from a particular angle.

The only time laughter is wicked is when it is turned against Him Who gave it.
Fulton J. Sheen
Image
Each and every one of us, at the end of the journey of life, will come face to face with either one or the other of two faces... And one of them, either the merciful face of Christ or the miserable face of Satan, will say, Mine, mine. May we be Christ's!

If you wish to convert anyone to the fullness of the knowledge of Our Lord and of His Mystical Body, then teach him the Rosary. One of two things will happen. Either he will stop saying the Rosary - or he will get the gift of faith.

Advertising tries to stimulate our sensuous desires, converting luxuries into necessities, but it only intensifies man's inner misery. The business world is bent on creating hungers which its wares never satisfy, and thus it adds to the frustrations and broken minds of our times.

Baloney is flattery laid on so thick it cannot be true, and blarney is flattery so thin we love it.
