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.

More quotes by 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
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 not the president instead, I hold an even higher office, that of citizen of the United States.
Martin Sheen
I love my country enough to suffer its wrath.
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
While acting is what I do for a living, activism is what I do to stay alive.
Martin Sheen
I am not a politician or a public servant. 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
I was a celebrity. This is not what I do for a living - politics. I play politicians, as well as working class or clergy or whatever, and you mustn't be confused by what you're seeing on television because that's not who I am. So I always ended it.
Martin Sheen
We never get over our fathers, and we’re not required to. (Irish Proverb)
Martin Sheen
I honestly do not know if civil disobedience has any effect on the government. I can promise you it has a great effect on the person who chooses to do it.
Martin Sheen
Anybody who plays golf will tell you that you play against yourself.
Martin Sheen
George W Bush is like a bad comic working the crowd, a moron, if youll pardon the expression.
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 don't think that people in America are really given enough information about the Third World.
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
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
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
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.
