Saint Jerome

Pinguis venter non gignit sensum tenuem—A fat paunch does not produce fine sense.From the Greek.

Facito aliquid operis, ut semper te diabolus inveniat occupatum—Keep doing something, so that the devil may always find you occupied.

Let us learn upon earth those things that can call us to heaven.

Prayer is a groan.

The devil taketh not lightly unto his working such as he findeth occupied in good works.
