Fulton Sheen

Famous quotes containing the words fulton and/or sheen:

    New York has her wilderness within her own borders; and though the sailors of Europe are familiar with the soundings of her Hudson, and Fulton long since invented the steamboat on its waters, an Indian is still necessary to guide her scientific men to its headwaters in the Adirondack country.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Baloney is flattery laid on so thick it cannot be true, and blarney is flattery so thin we love it.
