“A democracy is a government based on personal responsibility. We must never interpret emancipation as an evasion of responsibility or think that a responsibility is a hindrance to freedom; rather it is a safeguard. We have formed, and we must continue to form, associations to safeguard freedom, but let us also persuade Americans to form associations which will safeguard our responsibilities. The bane of democracy is the flight from responsibility on which freedom rests. If America is to continue to be great along the tradition of her Founding Fathers and not betray the Christian traditions, her citizens must release, not their evil inclinations from within, but rather the aspiration for total goodness that God put in their hearts.” —Venerable Fulton J. Sheen From his book “Life is Worth Living”. Purchase this book on our site here: goo.gl/2AYb8
