Famous quotes containing the words jerome and/or case:
“It is in our faults and failings, not in our virtues, that we touch each other, and find sympathy.... It is in our follies that we are one.”

“I love to weigh, to settle, to gravitate toward that which most strongly and rightfully attracts me;Mnot hang by the beam of the scale and try to weigh less,—not suppose a case, but take the case that is; to travel the only path I can, and that on which no power can resist me. It affords me no satisfaction to commence to spring an arch before I have got a solid foundation.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
