I thought it was sweet; I enjoy the words of Archbishop Sheen.

Me; too!


Bishop Fulton J. Sheen quotes:
 
 
"A Plea For Intolerance" (1931)
 
Tolerance is an attitude of reasoned patience toward evil ... a forbearance that restrains us from showing anger or inflicting punishment.
 Tolerance applies only to persons ... never to truth.
 
America, it is said, is suffering from intolerance — it is not.
It is suffering from tolerance.
Tolerance of right and wrong, truth and error, virtue and evil, Christ and chaos.
Our country is not nearly so overrun with the bigoted as it is overrun with the broadminded.
 
 
 
Too many people get credit for being good, when they are only being passive.
They are too often praised for being broadminded when they are so broadminded they can never make up their minds about anything.
As quoted in Seven Words to the Cross (1979) by Ellsworth Kalas, page 93.
 
 
 
 
 
Right is right if nobody is right, and wrong is wrong if everybody is wrong.
 
If you don't behave as you believe, you will end by believing as you behave.
 
 
An atheist is a man who has no invisible means of support.
