Philosophy Quote by Fulton J. Sheen

“Perhaps the solicitation to pamper the way men live is too strong for them, for much of the business of philosophy at the present time seems to be to give high-sounding names to cover the sins of men. The clay is now molding the potter and the marble carving out the sculptor.” quote by Fulton J. Sheen — Download Open image
