There are angels near you to guide you and protect you, if you would but invoke them. It is not later than we think, it is a bigger world than we think.

Image
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
Image
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
Image
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
Image
Tolerance is an attitude of reasoned patience toward evil... a forbearance that restrains us from showing anger or inflicting punishment. Tolerance applies only to persons... never to truth.
Fulton J. Sheen
Image
Love is a mutual self-giving which ends in self-recovery.

Jealousy is the tribute which mediocrity pays to genius.

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
Never forget that there are only two philosophies to rule your life: the one of the cross, which starts with the fast and ends with the feast. The other of Satan, which starts with the feast and ends with the headache.
Fulton J. Sheen
Image
No man discovers anything big if he does not make himself small.
Fulton J. Sheen
Image
Many married women who have deliberately spurned the hour of childbearing are unhappy and frustrated. They never discovered the joys of marriage because they refused to surrender to the obligation of their state. In saving themselves, they lost themselves!
Fulton J. Sheen
Image
The wicked fear the good, because the good are a constant reproach to their consciences. The ungodly like religion in the same way that they like lions, either dead or behind bars they fear religion when it breaks loose and begins to challenge their consciences.
Fulton J. Sheen
Image
Charity is to be measured, not by what one has given away, but by what one has left.
Fulton J. Sheen
Image
Many souls fail to find God because they want a religion which will remake society without remaking themselves.
Fulton J. Sheen
Image
It takes three to make love, not two: you, your spouse, and God. Without God people only succeed in bringing out the worst in one another. Lovers who have nothing else to do but love each other soon find there is nothing else. Without a central loyalty life is unfinished.
Fulton J. Sheen
Image
Modern minds no longer object to the Church because of the way they think, but because of the way they live. They no longer have difficulties with the Creed, but with her Commandments. The heresy of our day is not the heresy of thought, but of action.
Fulton J. Sheen
Image
The way not to lead a monotonous life is to live for others.
Fulton J. Sheen
Image
Confiscation in any form is an unhealthy solution for a real disease. It amounts to telling men that because they are economically crippled, they must abandon all efforts to get well and allow the state to provide them with free wheelchairs.
Fulton J. Sheen
Image
Once you have surrendered yourself, you make yourself receptive. In receiving from God, you are perfected and completed.

The history of civilization could actually be written in terms of the level of its women.
