More quotes by St. Jerome
Beauty when unadorned is adorned the most.
St. Jerome

St. Jerome
Let us learn upon earth those things which can call us to heaven.
St. Jerome

St. Jerome
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
Strictly speaking, one should not even rightly compare virginity to marriage because you cannot make a comparison between two things if one is good and the other evil.
St. Jerome

St. Jerome
Even while living in the world, the heart of Mary was so filled with motherly tenderness and compassion for men that no-one ever suffered so much for their own pains, as Mary suffered for the pains of her children.
St. Jerome
Without doubt, the Lord grants all favors which are asked of Him in Mass, provided they be fitting for us.
St. Jerome

St. Jerome

St. Jerome
That rain is the best which falls steadily on the earth. A sudden and excessive downpour ruins the fields.
St. Jerome
No athlete is crowned but in the sweat of his brow.
St. Jerome
It is no fault of Christianity that a hypocrite falls into sin.
St. Jerome
What good is speed if the brain has oozed out on the way.
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 truly miserable have a timbre in their voices strong enough to erase smiles from the faces and souls of the contented.
St. Jerome
While truth is always bitter, pleasantness waits upon evildoing.
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
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
