St. Jerome
Without doubt, the Lord grants all favors which are asked of Him in Mass, provided they be fitting for us.
St. Jerome
A fat stomach never breeds fine thoughts.
St. Jerome
The friendship that can cease has never been real.
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
Instead of speaking saintly words we must act them.
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
Woman is the gate of the devil, the road to iniquity, the sting of the scorpion, in a word, a dangerous species.
St. Jerome
They talk like angels but they live like men.
St. Jerome
The scars of others should teach us caution.
St. Jerome
Small minds cannot grasp great subjects.
St. Jerome
What cannot be changed cannot be blamed.
St. Jerome
Be ever engaged, so that whenever the devil calls he may find you occupied.
St. Jerome
For the preservation of chastity, an empty and rumbling stomach and fevered lungs are indispensable.
St. Jerome
The tired ox treads with a firmer step.
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
A vice in the heart is an idol on the altar.
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
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
