More quotes by St. Jerome
Shun, as you would the plague, a cleric who from being poor has become wealthy, or who, from being nobody has become a celebrity.
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
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
Preferring to store her money in the stomachs of the needy rather than hide it in a purse.
St. Jerome
The line, often adopted by strong men in controversy, of justifying the means by the end.
St. Jerome
Do not marvel at the novelty of the thing, if a Virgin gives birth to God.
St. Jerome
There are things in life that are bigger than ourselves. Life is short, live it well.
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
If Christ did not want to dismiss the Jews without food in the desert for fear that they would collapse on the way, it was to teach us that it is dangerous to try to get to heaven without the Bread of Heaven.
St. Jerome
Small minds cannot grasp great subjects.
St. Jerome
Virginity can be lost by a thought.
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
Failure is the inspiration of tomorrow's entrepreneurs.
St. Jerome
What cannot be changed cannot be blamed.
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
It is our part to seek, His to grant what we ask ours to make a beginning, His to bring it to completion ours to offer what we can, His to finish what we cannot.
St. Jerome
Seek to learn on earth those truths which will remain ever valid in Heaven
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
Ignorance of the Scriptures is ignorance of Christ.
St. Jerome
