More quotes by 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
I feel it is time that I also pay tribute to my four writers, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.
Fulton J. Sheen
Freedom does not mean that right to do whatever we please, but rather to do as we ought. The right to do whatever we please reduces freedom to a physical power and forgets that freedom is a moral power.
Fulton J. Sheen
The mind has three operations: the formation of ideas, judgements and reasoning.
Fulton J. Sheen
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.
Fulton J. Sheen

Fulton J. Sheen
Books are the most wonderful friends in the world. When you meet them and pick them up, they are always ready to give you a few ideas. When you put them down, they never get mad when you take them up again, they seem to enrich you all the more.
Fulton J. Sheen
God does not love us because we are valuable. We are valuable because God loves us.
Fulton J. Sheen
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.
Fulton J. Sheen
There are 200 million poor in the world who would gladly take the vow of poverty if they could eat, dress and have a home like I do
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
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.
Fulton J. Sheen
Broadmindedness, when it means indifference to right and wrong, eventually ends in a hatred of what is right.
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
To love what is below the human is degradation to love what is human for the sake of the human is mediocrity to love the human for the sake of the Divine is enriching to love the Divine for its own sake is sanctity.
Fulton J. Sheen
All our anxieties relate to time.
Fulton J. Sheen
Freedom that ignores the transcendent difference between good and evil ends in the denial of freedom itself.
Fulton J. Sheen
Atheism, nine times out of ten, is born from the womb of a bad conscience. Disbelief is born of sin, not of reason.
Fulton J. Sheen
