Martin Sheen Speaks

And Jesus in all of his teaching was very clear about the heart of the law, not the letter. And I think we have to remember that we are human first.
Martin Sheen

And there are so many people in the third world suffering so horribly right now, and we are so focused on ourselves and our culture that a lot of things are showing up in our culture that are making it impossible for us to focus on others. We're so self-focused.
Martin Sheen

Anybody who plays golf will tell you that you play against yourself.
Martin Sheen

Don't invade Iraq. Inspections work, war won't.
Martin Sheen

Future generations are not going to ask us what political party were you in. They are going to ask what did you do about it, when you knew the glaciers were melting.
Martin Sheen

George W Bush is like a bad comic working the crowd, a moron, if you'll pardon the expression.
Martin Sheen

Golf is fundamentally about being honest. I see people hit eight shots and tell me they shot five. I never say a word. It is a reminder to me of what is at stake.
Martin Sheen

I am a very conscientious golfer. I count every stroke. I learned to play that way. That is the only way I can play. It taught me to be honest. There is no greater virtue than honesty.
Martin Sheen

I am not the President. Instead, I hold an even higher office, that of citizen of the United States.
Martin Sheen

I do it because I can't seem to live with myself if I do not. I don't know any other way to be. It isn't something you can explain; it is just something that you do; it is something that you are.
Martin Sheen

I don't think that people in America are really given enough information about the Third World.
Martin Sheen

I have been accused of being a traitor, and I have been accused of not supporting the military. Nothing could be further from the truth.
Martin Sheen

I honestly do not know if civil disobedience has any effect on the government. I can promise you it has a great effect on the person who chooses to do it.
Martin Sheen

I just think that the only way we come to ourselves is through each other.
Martin Sheen

I never went to college when I was young and am looking forward to giving it a try... at age 65!
Martin Sheen

I personally am opposed to abortion, but I will not judge anybody else's right in that regard because I am not a woman and I could never face the actual reality of it.
Martin Sheen

I started caddying when I was nine years old at a very exclusive country club in Dayton, Ohio. And I saw how the other half lived, if you will.
Martin Sheen

I still believe in the nonviolent Jesus and the basic human goodness present in all of us.
Martin Sheen

I think President Clinton was probably the brightest President of the 20th century.
Martin Sheen

I think the Church is a conduit to God. The Church is not God. And I think that from the very beginning Jesus taught us that.
Martin Sheen

I'm one of those cliff-hanging Catholics. I don't believe in God, but I do believe that Mary was his mother.
Martin Sheen

It doesn't really matter how much of the rules or the dogma we accepted and lived by if we're not really living by the fundamental creed of the Catholic Church, which is service to others and finding God in ourselves and then seeing God in everyone - including our enemies.
