Fulton J. SheenLove burdens itself with the wants and woes and losses and even the wrongs of others.
Fulton J. SheenPride is the king of vices...it is the first of the pallbearers of the soul...other vices destroy only their opposite virtues, as wantonness destroys chastity; greed destroys temperance; anger destroys gentleness; but pride destroys all virtues.
Fulton J. Sheen
