Reverence: the spiritual attitude of a man to a god and a dog to a man.
Ambrose

Ambrose
No one heals himself by wounding another.
Ambrose
As in paradise, God walks in the Holy Scriptures, seeking man.
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
