More quotes by Martin Sheen
Find something in your life worth fighting for
Martin Sheen
I am still a journeyman actor and a peace and justice activist. I'm a pilgrim trying to win my freedom and serve as best I can in the time I have, with this gift I've been given.
Martin Sheen
If you are on an honest journey to find yourself, you'll find God.
Martin Sheen
I'm one of those cliff-hanging Catholics. I don't believe in God, but I do believe that Mary was his mother.
Martin Sheen
We have to fight for something. It has to cost us. Our lives, our faith, have to cost us something otherwise we're left to question its value.
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
No matter what is going on, everything is grace.
Martin Sheen
The most satisfying thing in my life and my career is to work with my children.
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
I am not the president instead, I hold an even higher office, that of citizen of the United States.
Martin Sheen
Money's only something you need in case you don't die tomorrow.
Martin Sheen
I just think that the only way we come to ourselves is through each other.
Martin Sheen
I never lost my faith...But like all modern Catholics, I felt for a time that I had outgrown the church. Now it is a bone of contention in my soul that I did not share my faith with my kids, as my parents did with me. It was a source of grace when I needed it. I have been greatly nurtured and inspired by my faith.
Martin Sheen
I don't think that people in America are really given enough information about the Third World.
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
If all of the issues that I have worked on were depending on some measure of success, it would be a total failure. I don't anticipate success. We're not asked to be successful, we are only asked to be faithful. I couldn't even tell you what success is.
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 love my country enough to suffer its wrath.
Martin Sheen
We never get over our fathers, and we’re not required to. (Irish Proverb)
