Saint Jerome - Letter

The scars of others should teach us caution.

When the stomach is full, it is easy to talk of fasting.

The friendship that can cease has never been real.

A fat paunch never breeds fine thoughts.

No athlete is crowned but in the sweat of his brow.
Saint Jerome
The face is the mirror of the mind, and eyes without speaking confess the secrets of the heart.

An unstable pilot steers a leaking ship, and the blind is leading the blind straight to the pit. The ruler is like the ruled.
Saint Jerome - Letter 48
The line, often adopted by strong men in controversy, of justifying the means by the end.

The face is the mirror of the mind, and eyes without speaking confess the secrets of the heart.
Saint Jerome - On the Epistle to the Ephesians
Never look a gift horse in the mouth.
Saint Jerome
It is worse still to be ignorant of your ignorance.
