More quotes by Ambrose
In some causes silence is dangerous.
Ambrose
Let us take refuge from this world. You can do this in spirit, even if you are kept here in the body. You can at the same time be here and present to the Lord. 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
The world has been created for everyone's use, but you few rich are trying to keep it up for yourselves. For not merely the possession of the earth, but the very sky, the air, and the sea are claimed for the use of the rich few... The earth belongs to all, not just to the rich.
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
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
It is not enough just to wish well we must also do well.
Ambrose
Accordingly, death is a harbor of peace for the just, but is believed a shipwreck for the wicked.
Ambrose
There is no time of life past learning something.
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
The rich man who gives to the poor does not bestow alms but pays a debt.
Ambrose

Ambrose
To be content, to find true love, is what essentially drives us all, but if found, would it be recognized?
Ambrose
When you are at Rome, live as Romans live.
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
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
Except a man fear the Lord, he is unable to renounce sin.
Ambrose
