It is easier to look wise than to talk wisely.
Ambrose
When in Rome, live as the Romans do. When elsewhere, live as they live elsewhere.
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
Dice have their laws, which the courts of justice cannot undo.
Ambrose
As the print of the seal on the wax is the express image of the seal itself, so Christ is the express image - the perfect representation of God.
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
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
If you do not give the tenth part to God, he will take the nine parts.
Ambrose
There is nothing evil save that which perverts the mind and shackles the conscience.
Ambrose
To be content, to find true love, is what essentially drives us all, but if found, would it be recognized?
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
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
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
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 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
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
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
On consideration.. .of the reason wherefore men have so far gone astray, or that many - alas! - should follow diverse ways of belief concerning the Son of God, the marvel seems to be, not at all that human knowledge has been baffled in dealing with superhuman things, but that it has not submitted to the authority of the Scriptures
Ambrose
