More quotes by Martin Sheen
Golf is fundamentally about being honest. I see people hit eight shots and tell me they shot five. I never say a word. It is a reminder to me of what is at stake.
Martin Sheen
It doesn't really matter how much of the rules or the dogma we accepted and lived by if we're not really living by the fundamental creed of the Catholic Church, which is service to others and finding God in ourselves and then seeing God in everyone - including our enemies.
Martin Sheen
I am a very conscientious golfer. I count every stroke. I learned to play that way. That is the only way I can play. It taught me to be honest. There is no greater virtue than honesty.
Martin Sheen
The most satisfying thing in my life and my career is to work with my children.
Martin Sheen
Anybody who plays golf will tell you that you play against yourself.
Martin Sheen
Find something in your life worth fighting for

We never get over our fathers, and we’re not required to. (Irish Proverb)
Martin Sheen
Future generations are not going to ask us what political party were you in. They are going to ask what did you do about it, when you knew the glaciers were melting.
Martin Sheen
Those years on the golf course as a caddie, boy, those people were something. They were vulgar, some were alcoholics, racist, they were very difficult people to deal with. A lot of them didn't have a sense of humor.
Martin Sheen
I think service to others is the real key to winning our own personal freedom and the road to our own happiness, our own personal contentment and fulfillment.
Martin Sheen
This supposed idyllic society we have is the most confused, warped, addicted society in the history of the world. We are addicted to power, we're addicted to our own image of ourselves, to violence, divorce, abortion, and sex.
Martin Sheen
I don't like scary films. I watched Psycho for the first time recently, alone in the house at night. That was a mistake. I had to call my friend to come over.
Martin Sheen
The Irish tell the story of a man who arrives at the gates of heaven and asks to be let in St. Peter says, “Of course, just show us your scars.” The man says, “I have no scars”. St. Peter says, “What a pity was there nothing worth fighting for”?
Martin Sheen
I love my country enough to suffer its wrath.
Martin Sheen
No matter what is going on, everything is grace.
Martin Sheen
I don't think abortion is a good idea. I personally am opposed to abortion, but I will not judge anybody else's right in that regard because I am not a woman and I could never face the actual reality of it.
Martin Sheen
If you are on an honest journey to find yourself, you'll find God.
Martin Sheen
I am not the president instead, I hold an even higher office, that of citizen of the United States.
Martin Sheen
My recovery is the single greatest accomplishment of my life. Without that, the rest of my life would have fallen apart.
Martin Sheen
Jim Dean and Elvis were the spokesmen for an entire generation. When I was in acting school in New York, years ago, there was a saying that if Marlon Brando changed the way people acted, then James Dean changed the way people lived. He was the greatest actor who ever lived. He was simply a genius.
