More quotes by 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
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

Ambrose
As in paradise, God walks in the Holy Scriptures, seeking man.
Ambrose
If you are at Rome live in the Roman style if you are elsewhere live as they live elsewhere.
Ambrose
No one heals himself by wounding another.
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
To be content, to find true love, is what essentially drives us all, but if found, would it be recognized?
Ambrose
Except a man fear the Lord, he is unable to renounce sin.
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
The rich man who gives to the poor does not bestow alms but pays a debt.
Ambrose
The devil tempts that he may ruin God tests that he may crown.
Ambrose
