More quotes by 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

Ambrose
It was not by dialectic that it pleased God to save His people.
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
Prelate, n. A church officer having a superior degree of holiness and a fat preferment. One of Heaven's aristocracy. A gentleman of God.

Redemption, n. Deliverance of sinners from the penalty of their sin through their murder of the deity against whom they sinned.

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
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
If you do not give the tenth part to God, he will take the nine parts.
Ambrose
If you have two shirts in your closet, one belongs to you and the other to the man with no shirt.

Ambrose
Dice have their laws, which the courts of justice cannot undo.
Ambrose
The world has been created for everyone's use, but you few rich are trying to keep it up for yourselves. For not merely the possession of the earth, but the very sky, the air, and the sea are claimed for the use of the rich few... The earth belongs to all, not just to the rich.
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
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
The Psalms are the voices of the church.
Ambrose
When I am at Rome I fast as the Romans do when I am at Milan I do not fast. So likewise you, whatever church you come to, observe the custom of the place, if you would neither give offence to others, nor take offence from them.
Ambrose
