St. Jerome

Let your daughter have first of all the book of Psalms for holiness of heart, and be instructed in the Proverbs of Solomon for her godly life.

I am that prodigal son who wasted all the portion entrusted to me by my father. But I have not yet fallen at my father's knees. I have not yet begun to put away from me the enticements of my former riotous living.

Action without a name, a 'who' attached to it, is meaningless.

The friendship that can cease has never been real.

Beauty when unadorned is adorned the most.

Catch, then, O catch the transient hour; Improve each moment as it flies!

Keep doing some kind of work, that the devil may always find you employed.
