More quotes by Ambrose
When I go to Rome, I fast on Saturday, but in Milan I do not. Do you also follow the custom of whatever church you attend, if you do not want to give or receive scandal.
Ambrose
Prayer is the wing wherewith the soul flies to heaven, and meditation the eye wherewith we see God.
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
It is ingrained in all living creatures, first of all, to preserve their own safety, to guard against what is harmful, to strive for what is advantageous.
Ambrose
The Psalms are the voices of the church.
Ambrose
Dice have their laws, which the courts of justice cannot undo.
Ambrose
Reverence: the spiritual attitude of a man to a god and a dog to a man.
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
We should pray to the angels, for they are given to us as guardians.
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
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
No one heals himself by wounding another.
Ambrose
Love is like a shadow, one can only catch it by falling into it.
Ambrose
If it is daily bread, why do you take it once a year? . . . Take daily what is to profit you daily. Live in such a way that you may deserve to receive it daily. He who does not deserve to receive it daily, does not deserve to receive it once a year.
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
There is nothing evil save that which perverts the mind and shackles the conscience.
Ambrose
When you are at Rome, live as Romans live.
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
As in paradise, God walks in the Holy Scriptures, seeking man.
Ambrose
If you do not give the tenth part to God, he will take the nine parts.
Ambrose
