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
They talk like angels but they live like men.
St. Jerome
Malice swallows the greatest part of its own venom.
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
Instead of speaking saintly words we must act them.
St. Jerome
Marriage is good for those who are afraid to sleep alone at night.
St. Jerome
Whoever eats the Lamb outside this House is profane.
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
Endeavor to have always in your hand a pious book, that with this shield you may defend yourself against bad thoughts.
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
A friend is long sought, hardly found, and with difficulty kept.
St. Jerome
Even brute beasts and wandering birds do not fall into the same traps or nets twice.
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
A vice in the heart is an idol on the altar.
St. Jerome
Love is not to be purchased, and affection has no price.
St. Jerome
I praise wedlock, I praise marital union, but only because they produce me virgins.
St. Jerome
While truth is always bitter, pleasantness waits upon evildoing.
St. Jerome
Do not marvel at the novelty of the thing, if a Virgin gives birth to God.
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
Beauty when unadorned is adorned the most.
St. Jerome
