God's World and Our Place in It QUOTES

1 " The day that man forgets that love is identical with sacrifice, he will ask how a God of love could demand mortification and self-denial. "

― Fulton J. Sheen , God's World and Our Place in It

2 " Two principles inspire much of the personal and social dealings of many a citizen in our land: “What can I get out of it?” and “Can I get away with it?” Evil is confused with good, and good is confused with evil. Revolting books against virtue are termed “courageous”; those against morality are advertised as “daring and forward-looking”; and those against God are called “progressive and epoch-making.” It has always been the characteristic of a generation in decay to paint the gates of Hell with the gold of Paradise. In a word, much of the so-called wisdom of our day is made up of that which once nailed our blessed Lord to the Cross. "

― Fulton J. Sheen , God's World and Our Place in It
