Additional quotes by Jerome

That clergyman soon becomes an object of contempt who being often asked out to dinner never refuses to go.

For it is one thing to start a problem and another to expound what is already proved. The first calls for a disputant, the second for a teacher.

And although to the strong he has pointed out the prize of their high calling, [ Philippians 3: 14 ] yet he suffers none to faint by the way; [ Matthew 15: 32 ] while he applauds those who lead the van, he does not despise those who bring up the rear.

For it is eloquence all the same whether few things are said in many words, or many things in few words. - Jerome
