More quotes by Ambrose
Just as riches are an impediment to virtue in the wicked, so in the good they are an aid of virtue.
Ambrose
It is a better thing to save souls for the Lord than to save treasures. He who sent forth his apostles without gold had not need of gold to form his Church. The Church possesses gold, not to hoard, but to scatter abroad and come to the aid of the unfortunate.
Ambrose
As the print of the seal on the wax is the express image of the seal itself, so Christ is the express image - the perfect representation of God.
Ambrose
How far, O rich, do you extend your senseless avarice? Do you intend to be the sole inhabitants of the earth? Why do you drive out the fellow sharers of nature, and claim it all for yourselves? The earth was made for all, rich and poor, in common. Why do you rich claim it as your exclusive right?
Ambrose
And let them remember that prayer should accompany the reading of Sacred Scripture, so that God and man may talk together for we speak to Him when we pray we hear Him when we read the divine saying.
Ambrose
God is not accustomed to refusing a good gift to those who ask for one. Since he is good, and especially to those who are faithful to him, let us hold fast to him with all our soul, our heart, our strength, and so enjoy his light and see his glory and possess the grace of supernatural joy.
Ambrose
When in Rome, live as the Romans do. When elsewhere, live as they live elsewhere.
Ambrose
It is Peter himself that He says, 'You are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my Church.' Where Peter is, there is the Church. And where the Church, no death is there, but life eternal.
Ambrose
The rich man who gives to the poor does not bestow alms but pays a debt.
Ambrose
When in Rome, live in the Roman way.
Ambrose
Our own evil inclinations are far more dangerous than any external enemies.
Ambrose
But if these beings guard you, they do so because they have been summoned by your prayers.
Ambrose
True repentance is to cease from sin.
Ambrose
A kindness received should be returned with a freer hand.
Ambrose
There is no time of life past learning something.
Ambrose
It is not the ambassador, it is not the messenger, but the Lord Himself that saveth His people. The Lord remaineth alone, for no man can be partner with God in forgiving sins this office belongs solely to Christ, who taketh away the sins of the world.
Ambrose
No one heals himself by wounding another.
Ambrose
The Psalms are the voices of the church.
Ambrose
The Church's foundation is unshakable and firm against the assaults of the raging sea. Waves lash at the Church but do not shatter it. Although the elements of this world constantly batter and crash against her, she offers the safest harbor of salvation for all in distress.
Ambrose
If it is daily bread, why do you take it once a year? . . . Take daily what is to profit you daily. Live in such a way that you may deserve to receive it daily. He who does not deserve to receive it daily, does not deserve to receive it once a year.
Ambrose
