Preferring to store her money in the stomachs of the needy rather than hide it in a purse.
St. Jerome
Image
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
Image
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
Image
To perceive is to categorize, to conceptualize is to categorize, to learn is to form categories, to make decisions is to categorize.
St. Jerome
Image
Quick enough, if good enough.
St. Jerome
