Each of us comes into life with fists closed, set for aggressiveness and acquisition. But when we abandon life our hands are open; there is nothing on earth that we need, nothing the soul can take with it.
Fulton J. SheenHumility is dependence on God as pride is independence of Him. The humble soul is always the thankful soul.
Fulton J. SheenOnce a man ceases to be of service to his neighbor, he begins to be a burden to him.
Fulton J. SheenGod has given different gifts to different people. There is no basis for feeling inferior to another who has a different gift. Once it is realized that we shall be judged by the gift we have received, rather than the gift we have not, one is completely delivered from a false sense of inferiority.
Fulton J. Sheen
