More quotes by Fulton J. Sheen
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
Humility is dependence on God as pride is independence of Him. The humble soul is always the thankful soul.
Fulton J. Sheen
Obedience to Truth is obedience to Love.
Fulton J. Sheen
Satan always tempts the pure - the others are already his.
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
It was to a virgin woman that the birth of the Son of God was announced. It was to a fallen woman that his resurrection was announced.
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
But there was no room at the inn the inn is the gathering place of public opinion so often public opinion locks its doors to the King.
Fulton J. Sheen
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
Sex has become one of the most discussed subjects of modern times. The Victorians pretended it did not exist the moderns pretend nothing else exists.
Fulton J. Sheen
Nothing ever happens in the world that does not happen first inside human hearts.
Fulton J. Sheen
It is not particularly difficult to find thousands who will spend two or three hours a day in exercising, but if you ask them to bend their knees to God in five minutes of prayer they protest that it is too long.
Fulton J. Sheen
As a man must be born before he can begin to lead his physical life, so he must be born to lead a Divine Life. That birth occurs in the Sacrament of Baptism. To survive, he must be nourished by Divine Life that is done in the Sacrament of the Holy Eucharist.
Fulton J. Sheen
Why are those who are notoriously undisciplined and unmoral also most contemptuous of religion and morality? They are trying to solace their own unhappy lives by pulling the happy down to their own abysmal depths.
Fulton J. Sheen
All love craves unity. As the highest peak of love in the human order is the unity of husband and wife in the flesh, so the highest unity in the Divine order is the unity of the soul and Christ in communion.
Fulton J. Sheen
The only time laughter is wicked is when it is turned against Him Who gave it.
Fulton J. Sheen
Man is incurably curious.
Fulton J. Sheen
If you don't behave as you believe, you will end by believing as you behave.
Fulton J. Sheen
If you do not worship God, you worship something, and nine times out of ten it will be yourself. You have a duty to worship God, not because He will be imperfect and unhappy if you do not, but because you will be imperfect and unhappy.
Fulton J. Sheen
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
