More quotes by Ambrose
He who reads much and understands much, receives his fill. He who is full, refreshes others.
Ambrose
There is no time of life past learning something.
Ambrose
It is Peter himself that He says, 'You are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my Church.' Where Peter is, there is the Church. And where the Church, no death is there, but life eternal.
Ambrose
We do not innovate anything ... How is it that novelties are introduced which were never even thought of by our predecessors?
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 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
When we speak about wisdom, we are speaking about Christ. When we speak about virtue, we are speaking about Christ. When we speak about justice, we are speaking about Christ. When we speak about peace, we are speaking about Christ. When we speak about truth and life and redemption, we are speaking about Christ.
Ambrose
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 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
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
Prelate, n. A church officer having a superior degree of holiness and a fat preferment. One of Heaven's aristocracy. A gentleman of God.
Ambrose
The likeness of Your Church, O Lord, is that woman who went behind and touched the hem of Your garment, saying within herself: 'If I do but touch His garment I shall be whole' (Mt. 9:21). So the Church confesses her wounds, but desires to be healed.
Ambrose
In some causes silence is dangerous.
Ambrose
What is impossible to God? Not that which is difficult to His power, but that which is contrary to His nature.
Ambrose
It is not enough just to wish well we must also do well.
Ambrose
Reverence: the spiritual attitude of a man to a god and a dog to a man.
Ambrose
As a servant desireth the approval of his master, and a son the approval of his father, so should we desire the approval of God and our own conscience.
Ambrose
Just as riches are an impediment to virtue in the wicked, so in the good they are an aid of virtue.
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
But if these beings guard you, they do so because they have been summoned by your prayers.
Ambrose
