Image
The devil tempts that he may ruin God tests that he may crown.
Ambrose
Image
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
Image
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
Image
The rich women, to avoid dividing the inheritance among many, kill their own fetus in the womb and with murderous juices extinguish in the genital chamber their children.
Ambrose
Image
It is a better thing to save souls for the Lord than to save treasures. He who sent forth his apostles without gold had not need of gold to form his Church. The Church possesses gold, not to hoard, but to scatter abroad and come to the aid of the unfortunate.
Ambrose
Image
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
Image
The body should be bedecked naturally and without affectation, with simplicity, with neglect rather than nicety, not with costly and dazzling apparel, but with ordinary clothes, so that nothing be lacking to honesty and necessity, yet nothing be added to increase its beauty.
Ambrose
Image
Cogito cogito ergo cogito sum (I think that I think, therefore I think that I am.)
Ambrose
Image
The emperor is in the Church, not about the Church.
Ambrose
Image
There is no time of life past learning something.
Ambrose
Image
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
Image
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
Image
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
Image
In some causes silence is dangerous.
Ambrose
Image
The rich man who gives to the poor does not bestow alms but pays a debt.
Ambrose
Image
It is not enough just to wish well we must also do well.
Ambrose
Image
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
Image
Accordingly, death is a harbor of peace for the just, but is believed a shipwreck for the wicked.
Ambrose
Image
Just as riches are an impediment to virtue in the wicked, so in the good they are an aid of virtue.
Ambrose
Image
The Psalms are the voices of the church.
