Liberty is no heirloom. It requires the daily bread of self-denial, the salt of law and, above all, the backbone of acknowledging responsibility for our deeds.

More quotes by Fulton J. Sheen
The only time laughter is wicked is when it is turned against Him Who gave it.
Fulton J. Sheen
Broadmindedness, when it means indifference to right and wrong, eventually ends in a hatred of what is right.
Fulton J. Sheen
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
A smile across the aisle of a bus in the morning could save a suicide later in the day.
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
Much suffering in hospitals is wasted.
Fulton J. Sheen
To see a priest making his meditation before Mass does more for an altar boy's vocation than a thousand pieces of inspirational literature.
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
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
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
Satan always tempts the pure - the others are already his.
Fulton J. Sheen
In vocal prayer we go to God on foot. In meditation we go to God on horseback. In contemplation we go to God in a jet.
Fulton J. Sheen
The pacifist thinks that the alternative to war is peace it is not. Sometimes the alternative is oppression. Sometimes certain God-given rights and liberties can be preserved only by resistance to that which would destroy them. And to defend certain basic God-given rights and liberties is not immoral but righteous.
Fulton J. Sheen
Counsel involving right and wrong should never be sought from a man who does not say his prayers.
Fulton J. Sheen
Health, power, riches, possessions and honor can be snatched from you, but your will is irrevocably your own.
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
Patience is power. Patience is not an absence of action rather it is timing it waits on the right time to act, for the right principles and in the right way.
Fulton J. Sheen
As long as the decent people refuse to believe that morality must manifest itself in every sphere of human activity, including the political, they will not meet the challenge of Marxism.
Fulton J. Sheen
Everything that is full of life loves change, for the characteristic of life is movement toward a new goal and urges toward new pleasures
Fulton J. Sheen
The forgiveness of God is one thing, but the proof that we want that forgiveness is the energy we expend to make amends for the wrong.
Fulton J. Sheen
