St. Jerome
There are things in life that are bigger than ourselves. Life is short, live it well.
St. Jerome
Being over seventy is like being engaged in a war. All our friends are going or gone and we survive amongst the dead and the dying as on a battlefield.
St. Jerome
Vanity is truly the motive power that moves humanity, and it is flattery that greases the wheels.
St. Jerome
The most base of men can be civilized through suffering.
St. Jerome
Woman is the root of all evil.
St. Jerome
Whoever eats the Lamb outside this House is profane.
St. Jerome

St. Jerome
My speech is too fast my oration confused love knows no order.
St. Jerome

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
A man who is well grounded in the testimonies of the Scripture is the bulwark of the Church.
St. Jerome
Let your daughter have first of all the book of Psalms for holiness of heart, and be instructed in the Proverbs of Solomon for her godly life.
St. Jerome

St. Jerome
Neither Britain, a land fertile in tyrants, nor the people of Ireland, knew Moses and the prophets.
St. Jerome
To ignore Scripture is to ignore Christ.
St. Jerome
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.
St. Jerome
If a soul is not clothed with the teachings of the Church he cannot merit to have Jesus seated in him.
St. Jerome
Even brute beasts and wandering birds do not fall into the same traps or nets twice.
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
