Fulton J. Sheen Quote
Two principles inspire much of the personal and social dealings of many a citizen in our land: What can I get out of it? and Can I get away with it? Evil is confused with good, and good is confused with evil. Revolting books against virtue are termed courageous; those against morality are advertised as daring and forward-looking; and those against God are called progressive and epoch-making. It has always been the characteristic of a generation in decay to paint the gates of Hell with the gold of Paradise. In a word, much of the so-called wisdom of our day is made up of that which once nailed our blessed Lord to the Cross.
