More quotes by Ambrose
Love is like a shadow, one can only catch it by falling into it.
Ambrose
The devil's snare does not catch you, unless you are first caught by the devil's bait.
Ambrose
To be content, to find true love, is what essentially drives us all, but if found, would it be recognized?
Ambrose
Unless a man be born again of water and the Holy Spirit he cannot enter the kingdom of God. No one is excepted, not [even] the infant.
Ambrose
God drove Cain out of his presence and sent him into exile far away from his native land, so that he passed from a life of human kindness to one which was more akin to the rude existence of a wild beast.
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
The body should be bedecked naturally and without affectation, with simplicity, with neglect rather than nicety, not with costly and dazzling apparel, but with ordinary clothes, so that nothing be lacking to honesty and necessity, yet nothing be added to increase its beauty.
Ambrose
Law is twofold -- natural and written. The natural law is in the heart, the written law on tables. All men are under the natural law.
Ambrose
The Lord was Baptized, not to be cleansed Himself, but to cleanse the waters, so that those waters, cleansed by the flesh of Christ which knew no sin, might have the power of Baptism.
Ambrose
When in Rome, live as the Romans do. When elsewhere, live as they live elsewhere.
Ambrose
Remember, then, that you received a spiritual seal, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of knowledge and reverence, the spirit of holy fear. Keep safe what you received. God the Father sealed you, Christ the Lord strengthened you and sent the Spirit into your hearts as the pledge of what is to come.
Ambrose
It is not enough just to wish well we must also do well.
Ambrose
It was not by dialectic that it pleased God to save His people.
Ambrose
Just as riches are an impediment to virtue in the wicked, so in the good they are an aid of virtue.
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
Your soul must hold fast to Him, you must follow after Him in your thoughts, you must tread His ways by faith, not in outward show.
Ambrose
Dice have their laws, which the courts of justice cannot undo.
Ambrose
Let your door stand open to receive Him, unlock your soul to Him, offer Him a welcome in your mind, and then you will see the riches of simplicity, the treasures of peace, the joy of grace. Throw wide the gate of your heart, stand before the sun of the everlasting light.
Ambrose
There is no time of life past learning something.
Ambrose
The Psalms are the voices of the church.
Ambrose
