More quotes by 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
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
No one heals himself by wounding another.
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
He who reads much and understands much, receives his fill. He who is full, refreshes others.
Ambrose
Cogito cogito ergo cogito sum (I think that I think, therefore I think that I am.)
Ambrose
The rich man who gives to the poor does not bestow alms but pays a debt.
Ambrose
Prayer is the wing wherewith the soul flies to heaven, and meditation the eye wherewith we see God.
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
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
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
The devil's snare does not catch you, unless you are first caught by the devil's bait.
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
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 you are at Rome, live as Romans live.
Ambrose
If you have two shirts in your closet, one belongs to you and the other to the man with no shirt.
Ambrose
The prime objective of all Initiatory music in the Temples of Antiquity was to bring about physical purification and renewal, mental stimulation and alertness, spiritual exhilaration and Illumination.
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
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
