Either we must speak as we dress, or dress as we speak. Why do we profess one thing and display another? The tongue talks of chastity, but the whole body reveals impurity.

More quotes by St. Jerome
Do not let your deeds belie your words, lest when you speak in church someone may say to himself, Why do you not practice what you preach?
St. Jerome
Ignorance of the Scriptures is ignorance of Christ.
St. Jerome
It is easier to mend neglect than to quicken love.
St. Jerome
Do not marvel at the novelty of the thing, if a Virgin gives birth to God.
St. Jerome
The friendship that can cease has never been real.
St. Jerome
We must love Christ and always seek Christ's embraces. Then everything difficult will seem easy.
St. Jerome
Neither Britain, a land fertile in tyrants, nor the people of Ireland, knew Moses and the prophets.
St. Jerome
That rain is the best which falls steadily on the earth. A sudden and excessive downpour ruins the fields.
St. Jerome
The fact is that my native land is a prey to barbarism, that in it men's only God is their belly, that they live only for the present, and that the richer a man is the holier he is held to be.
St. Jerome
The Church of Christ has been founded by shedding its own blood, not that of others by enduring outrage, not by inflicting it. Persecutions have made it grow martyrdoms have crowned it.
St. Jerome
No created mind, no created heart, no human force is capable of knowing how much love the Heart of Mary had for the Lord.
St. Jerome
Music to me is a voice, my voice, it's my way of expressing what colours can I bring in, what emotions, what feel. What ideas can I bring out from these instruments that would make this song come alive.
St. Jerome
When we pray we speak to God but when we read, God speaks to us.
St. Jerome
No one loves to tell of scandal except to him who loves to hear it. Learn, then, to rebuke and check the detracting tongue by showing that you do not listen to it with pleasure.
St. Jerome
The Scriptures are shallow enough for a babe to come and drink without fear of drowning and deep enough for theologians to swim in without ever reaching the bottom.
St. Jerome
Thank God I am deemed worthy to be hated by the world.
St. Jerome
Always be doing something worthwhile then the devil will always find you busy.
St. Jerome
Begin now what you will be hereafter.
St. Jerome
Early impressions are hard to eradicate from the mind. When once wool has been dyed purple, who can restore it to its previous whiteness?
St. Jerome
The face is the mirror of the mind, and eyes without speaking confess the secrets of the heart.
St. Jerome
