More quotes by 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
My speech is too fast my oration confused love knows no order.
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
What cannot be changed cannot be blamed.
St. Jerome
Quick enough, if good enough.
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
Thank God I am deemed worthy to be hated by the world.
St. Jerome
Preferring to store her money in the stomachs of the needy rather than hide it in a purse.
St. Jerome
Virginity can be lost by a thought.
St. Jerome
It is easier to mend neglect than to quicken love.
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
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
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
While truth is always bitter, pleasantness waits upon evildoing.
St. Jerome
The most base of men can be civilized through suffering.
St. Jerome
The enemy of reflection is the breakneck pace - the thousand pictures.
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
Be ever engaged, so that whenever the devil calls he may find you occupied.
St. Jerome
Whoever eats the Lamb outside this House is profane.
St. Jerome
The face is the mirror of the mind, and eyes without speaking confess the secrets of the heart.
St. Jerome
