Quotes by Fulton J. Sheen  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Patience is power.
Patience is not an absence of action;
rather it is "timing"
it waits on the right time to act,
for the right principles
and in the right way.”
Fulton J. Sheen

“It takes three to make love, not two: you, your spouse, and God. Without God people only succeed in bringing out the worst in one another. Lovers who have nothing else to do but love each other soon find there is nothing else. Without a central loyalty life is unfinished.”
Fulton J. Sheen, Seven Words of Jesus and Mary: Lessons from Cana and Calvary

“Sometimes the only way the good Lord can get into some hearts is to break them.”
Fulton J. Sheen
