More quotes by Fulton J. Sheen

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
There are ultimately only two possible adjustments to life one is to suit our lives to principles the other is to suit principles to our lives. If we do not live as we think, we soon begin to think as we live. The method of adjusting moral principles to the way men live is just a perversion of the order of things.
Fulton J. Sheen

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
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
Skeptics always want miracles such as stepping down from the Cross, but never the greater miracle of forgiveness.
Fulton J. Sheen
Never measure your generosity by what you give, but rather by what you have left.
Fulton J. Sheen
By the mere fact that we do not go forward, we go backward.
Fulton J. Sheen
If you don't behave as you believe, you will end by believing as you behave.
Fulton J. Sheen
Being is the soul of every concept, of every judgment and of every reasoning.
Fulton J. Sheen
Much suffering in hospitals is wasted.
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
A smile across the aisle of a bus in the morning could save a suicide later in the day.
