A man without God is not like a cake without raisins; he is like a cake without the flour and milk; he lacks the essential ingredients.
Nature gives man corn but he must grind it; God gives man a will but he must make the right choices.
When you are getting kicked from the rear it means you are in front.
Show me your hands. Do they have scars from giving? Show me your feet. Are they wounded in service? Show me your heart. Have you left a place for divine love?
Life is like a cash register, in that every account, every thought, every deed, like every sale, is registered and recorded.
Sometimes the only way the good Lord can get into some hearts is to break them.
Any book which inspires us to lead a better life is a good book.
Fulton John Sheen was an American archbishop of the Roman Catholic Church. He was Bishop of Rochester, New York and American television's first religious broadcaster of note, hosting Life Is Worth Living in the early 1950s, first on the DuMont Television Network and later on ABC, from 1951 to 1957. He later hosted The Fulton Sheen Program in syndication with a virtually identical format from 1961 to 1968; these later programs, many of which were taped in color, are still frequently rebroadcast today.
Sheen was born in El Paso, Illinois, the oldest of four sons of a farmer. Though he was known as Fulton, his mother's maiden name, he was baptized as Peter John Sheen. As an infant, Sheen contracted tuberculosis. After the family moved to nearby Peoria, Illinois, Sheen's first role in the Roman Catholic Church was as an altar boy at St. Mary's Cathedral.
