Preferring to store her money in the stomachs of the needy rather than hide it in a purse.
St. Jerome
What cannot be changed cannot be blamed.
St. Jerome

St. Jerome
The face is the mirror of the mind, and eyes without speaking confess the secrets of the heart.
St. Jerome

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

St. Jerome
Marriage fills the Earth, virginity Heaven.
St. Jerome
Let your daughter have first of all the book of Psalms for holiness of heart, and be instructed in the Proverbs of Solomon for her godly life.
St. Jerome
Whoever eats the Lamb outside this House is profane.
St. Jerome
The truly miserable have a timbre in their voices strong enough to erase smiles from the faces and souls of the contented.
St. Jerome
Woman is the root of all evil.
St. Jerome
Love is not to be purchased, and affection has no price.
St. Jerome
