Witty Quotes from Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen

"An atheist is a man who has no invisible means of support."

"Baloney is the unvarnished lie laid on so thick you hate it. Blarney is flattery laid on so thin you love it."

“Never measure your generosity by what you give, but rather by what you have left.”

"Love is a mutual self-giving which ends in self-recovery."


"Hearing nuns' confessions is like being stoned to death with popcorn."
