"Life is like a cash register, in that every account, every thought, every deed, like every sale, is registered and recorded"
- Fulton J. Sheen
About this Quote
This quote by Fulton J. Sheen is a pointer that our actions have consequences. Life is like a sales register because every account, every idea, and also every act is registered and recorded. Much like a cash register documents every sale, our lives videotape every action we take. This implies that our decisions have an influence on our lives and also the lives of those around us. We have to bear in mind our options as well as the consequences that include them. We need to also bear in mind that our thoughts as well as actions are not forgotten, which they will remain with us for the remainder of our lives. This quote works as a suggestion to be mindful of our activities and to assume before we act.
"Life is life - whether in a cat, or dog or man. There is no difference there between a cat or a man. The idea of difference is a human conception for man's own advantage"
