Additional quotes by Jerome

The charges we bring against others often come home to ourselves; we inveigh against faults which are as much ours as theirs; and so our eloquence ends by telling against ourselves.

glory follows virtue as its shadow; and deserting those who seek it, it seeks those who despise it. - Jerome
