Additional quotes by Jerome

you will know that it is a more difficult work to reject the opinion of others than to establish your own.

How can the sun and the moon praise God as the prophet exhorts them to do? By perfectly carrying out the role God has given them. Thus they render Him great praise. Behold, therefore, a wonderful means by which you can praise God all day: do your duty and whatever else you are given to do well.

it is a thing much more worthy of admiration and praise to receive admonition meekly, than to admonish a transgressor boldly.
