More quotes by St. Jerome
I praise wedlock, I praise marital union, but only because they produce me virgins.
St. Jerome
When the stomach is full, it is easy to talk of fasting.
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
While truth is always bitter, pleasantness waits upon evildoing.
St. Jerome
The scars of others should teach us caution.
St. Jerome
Virginity can be lost by a thought.
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
Begin now what you will be hereafter.
St. Jerome
Endeavor to have always in your hand a pious book, that with this shield you may defend yourself against bad thoughts.
St. Jerome

St. Jerome
Preferring to store her money in the stomachs of the needy rather than hide it in a purse.
St. Jerome
The face is the mirror of the mind, and eyes without speaking confess the secrets of the heart.
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
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
To perceive is to categorize, to conceptualize is to categorize, to learn is to form categories, to make decisions is to categorize.
St. Jerome
Instead of speaking saintly words we must act them.
St. Jerome
If then you remain constant in faith in the face of trial, the Lord will give you peace and rest for a time in this world, and forever in the next.
St. Jerome
They talk like angels but they live like men.
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
