Image
Sometimes the character of the mistress is inferred from the dress of her maids.
St. Jerome
Image

St. Jerome
Image

Do not marvel at the novelty of the thing, if a Virgin gives birth to God.
St. Jerome
Image
A friend is long sought, hardly found, and with difficulty kept.
St. Jerome
Image
The most base of men can be civilized through suffering.
St. Jerome
Image
The charges we bring against others often come home to ourselves we inveigh against faults which are as much ours as theirs and so our eloquence ends by telling against ourselves.
St. Jerome
Image
Ignorance of the Scriptures is ignorance of Christ.
St. Jerome
