More quotes by 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
Baloney is flattery laid on so thick it cannot be true, and blarney is flattery so thin we love it.
Fulton J. Sheen
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
When we try to make everything clear, we make everything confused. If, however, we admit one mysterious thing in the universe, then everything else becomes clear in the light of that. The sun is so bright, so mysterious, that one cannot look at it, and yet in the light of the sun everything else is seen.
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
If you do not live what you believe, you will end up believing what you live.
Fulton J. Sheen
The modern man, finding that Humanism and Sex both fail to satisfy, seeks his happiness in Science ... But Science fails too, for it is something more than a knowledge of matter the soul craves.
Fulton J. Sheen
Too many people get credit for being good, when they are only being passive.
Fulton J. Sheen
Civilization is always in danger when those who have never learned to obey are given the right to command.
Fulton J. Sheen
Advertising tries to stimulate our sensuous desires, converting luxuries into necessities, but it only intensifies man's inner misery. The business world is bent on creating hungers which its wares never satisfy, and thus it adds to the frustrations and broken minds of our times.
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
Skeptics always want miracles such as stepping down from the Cross, but never the greater miracle of forgiveness.
Fulton J. Sheen
God has given different gifts to different people. There is no basis for feeling inferior to another who has a different gift. Once it is realized that we shall be judged by the gift we have received, rather than the gift we have not, one is completely delivered from a false sense of inferiority.
Fulton J. Sheen
The difference between the love of a man and the love of a woman is that a man will always give reasons for loving, but a woman gives no reasons for loving.
Fulton J. Sheen
Broadmindedness, when it means indifference to right and wrong, eventually ends in a hatred of what is right.
Fulton J. Sheen
We are all born with the power of speech, but we need grammar. Conscience, too, needs Revelation.
Fulton J. Sheen
Communism is the final logic of the dehumanization of man. The industrial civilization of the Western world has no intent to destroy man's freedom or to deny his personality. But Communism does. Denying God, it reduces man to a robot.
Fulton J. Sheen
Truth must be sought at all costs, but separate isolated truths will not do. Truth is like life it has to be taken on its entirety or not at all. . . . We must welcome truth even if it reproaches and inconveniences us -- even if it appears in the place where we thought it could not be found.
Fulton J. Sheen
It is easy to find truth, though it is hard to face it, and harder still to follow it.
Fulton J. Sheen
By the mere fact that we do not go forward, we go backward.
Fulton J. Sheen
