Additional quotes by Jerome

As long as you are at home make your cell your paradise, gather there the varied fruits of scripture, let this be your favourite companion, and take its precepts to your heart.

You know yourselves how slippery is the path of youth — a path on which I have myself fallen, and which you are now traversing not without fear. - Jerome
