Humility is dependence on God as pride is independence of Him. The humble soul is always the thankful soul.
Fulton J. SheenTo see a priest making his meditation before Mass does more for an altar boy's vocation than a thousand pieces of inspirational literature.
Fulton J. SheenIt is a characteristic of any decaying civilization that the great masses of the people are unconscious of the tragedy. Humanity in a crisis is generally insensitive to the gravity of the times in which it lives. Men do not want to believe their own times are wicked, partly because it involves too much self-accusation and principally because they have no standards outside of themselves by which to measure their times.
