More quotes by 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
The emperor is in the Church, not about the Church.
Ambrose
There is no time of life past learning something.
Ambrose
Redemption, n. Deliverance of sinners from the penalty of their sin through their murder of the deity against whom they sinned. The doctrine of Redemption is the fundamental mystery of our holy religions, and whoso believeth in it shall not perish, but have everlasting life in which to try to understand it.
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
No one heals himself by wounding another.
Ambrose
A good youth ought to have a fear of God, to be subject to his parents, to give honor to his elders, to preserve his purity he ought not to despise humility, but should love forbearance and modesty. All these are an ornament to youthful years.
Ambrose
If you do not give the tenth part to God, he will take the nine parts.
Ambrose

Ambrose
The devil tempts that he may ruin God tests that he may crown.
Ambrose
What is impossible to God? Not that which is difficult to His power, but that which is contrary to His nature.
Ambrose
Reverence: the spiritual attitude of a man to a god and a dog to a man.
Ambrose
We should pray to the angels, for they are given to us as guardians.
Ambrose
Nature has poured forth all things for the common use of all men. And God has ordained that all things should be produced that there might be food in common for all, and that the earth should be in the common possession of all. Nature created common rights, but usurpation has transformed them into private rights.
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
May each one of us glorify the Lord with the soul of Mary and rejoice in God with the spirit of Mary
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
As in paradise, God walks in the Holy Scriptures, seeking man.
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
