More quotes by Ambrose
We do not innovate anything ... How is it that novelties are introduced which were never even thought of by our predecessors?
Ambrose
Love is like a shadow, one can only catch it by falling into it.
Ambrose
The rich man who gives to the poor does not bestow alms but pays a debt.
Ambrose
Dice have their laws, which the courts of justice cannot undo.
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
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
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 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

It is not enough just to wish well we must also do well.
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
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
As in paradise, God walks in the Holy Scriptures, seeking man.
Ambrose
No one heals himself by wounding another.
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
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
When in Rome, live in the Roman way.
Ambrose
If you do not give the tenth part to God, he will take the nine parts.
Ambrose
Neither angel, nor archangel, nor yet even the Lord Himself (who alone can say I am with you), can, when we have sinned, release us, unless we bring repentance with us.
Ambrose
To be content, to find true love, is what essentially drives us all, but if found, would it be recognized?
Ambrose
