“No one ever drifted into virtue; but anyone can drift into vice. A man who is poisoned may be brought an antidote. It makes little difference whether he throws the antidote out of the window or whether he pours it on the floor or whether he ignores it. The poison which he has in his body operates by the mere fact that he neglects to take the remedy. What is curious about all who drift is that eventually they begin to say that they are under the control of fate, necessity or cruel destiny, in order to relieve themselves of responsibility. A scapegoat must be found to ease the conscience.” Archbishop Fulton Sheen (Walk With God)
