“Who would have believed that the daughters of that mighty city would one day be wandering as servants and slaves on the shores of Egypt and Africa, or that Bethlehem would daily receive noble Romans, distinguished ladies, brought up in wealth and now reduced to beggary? I cannot help them all, but I grieve and weep with them, and am completely absorbed in the duties which charity imposes on me. I have put aside my commentary on Ezekiel and almost all study. For today we must translate the precepts of the Scriptures into deeds; instead of speaking saintly words, we must act them.” HelpingTodayWealthCitiesStudyDutyOne DayDaughterSlaveCharityDeedsNobleScriptureWanderServantGrievingShoreTranslateEgyptDistinguishedCommentaryBethlehemBeggaryEzekiel Author:St. Jerome

“One day, I started writing, not knowing that I had chained myself for life to a noble but merciless master. When God hands you a gift, he also hands you a whip; and the whip is intended solely for self-flagellation... I'm here alone in my dark madness, all by myself with my deck of cards - and, of course, the whip God gave me.” WritingSelfHandsCoursesDarkKnowingMastersOne DayMadnessNobleCardsNot KnowingWhipsDeckChainedDeck Of Cards Author:Truman Capote
