Excellent collection of quotes and sayings by Archbishop Fulton John Sheen.
Right is right if nobody is right, and wrong is wrong if everybody is wrong. ~Archbishop Fulton John Sheen
All my sermons are prepared in the presence of the Blessed Sacrament. As recreation is most pleasant and profitable in the sun, so homiletic creativity is best nourished before the Eucharist. The most brilliant ideas come from meeting God face to face. The Holy Spirit that presided at the Incarnation is the best atmosphere for illumination. Pope John Paul II keeps a small desk or writing pad near him whenever he is in the presence of the Blessed Sacrament; and I have done this all my life — I am sure for the same reason he does, because a lover always works better when the beloved is with him. ~Archbishop Fulton John Sheen
You must remember to love people and use things, rather than to love things and use people. ~Archbishop Fulton John Sheen

Another instance of how our Lord associated Peter with himself was in the payment of the temple tax. It is the only time in scripture where God ever associates a human being with himself under the personal pronoun we…. Now at the time of the payment of the temple tax our blessed Lord told Peter to pay it, and he said to pay it “for me and thee.” Then he adds, “that we may not scandalize.” Here he makes himself one with Peter. Peter is associated with the Master in a way that no one else can ever be associated. We — Christ and Peter. That is why papal encyclicals begin with the word we. ~Archbishop Fulton John Sheen

Too many people get credit for being good, when they are only being passive. They are too often praised for being broadminded when they are so broadminded they can never make up their minds about anything. ~Archbishop Fulton John Sheen
Communism is the final logic of the dehumanization of man. ~Archbishop Fulton John Sheen
