And do ye tell it to those
who come after you, how
amid swords and deserts
and wild beasts, chastity
was never captive: and how
a man devoted to Christ may

Additional quotes by Jerome

For it is good to cleave to God, and to put our hopes in the Lord, so that, when we have exchanged this poor life for the kingdom of heaven, we may cry aloud: 'Whom have I in heaven but thee? There is none upon earth that I desire beside thee.' Assuredly, when we have found such wealth in heaven, we may well grieve to have sought after poor passing pleasures here on earth.
