Here is Saint Jerome, saying ” Hey, guys, wait, what’s up?”
Vittore Carpaccio
A Doctor of the Church, he is the patron saint of: archaeologists; archivists; Bible scholars; librarians; libraries; school children; students;translators. And he had a lion for a friend.
Just as well, for he said:
A friend is long sought, hardly found, and with difficulty kept.
He produced many other rattling good quotes, such as:
Be ever engaged, so that whenever the devil calls he may find you occupied.
He also said:
Woman is the gate of the devil, the road to iniquity, the sting of the scorpion, in a word, a dangerous species.
Ahem.
