Ambrose
When I am at Rome I fast as the Romans do when I am at Milan I do not fast. So likewise you, whatever church you come to, observe the custom of the place, if you would neither give offence to others, nor take offence from them.
Ambrose
When you are at Rome, live as Romans live.
Ambrose
The devil's snare does not catch you, unless you are first caught by the devil's bait.
Ambrose
The emperor is in the Church, not about the Church.

Ambrose
