More quotes by Ambrose
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
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

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
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
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
No one heals himself by wounding another.
Ambrose
If you have two shirts in your closet, one belongs to you and the other to the man with no shirt.
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
When in Rome, live in the Roman way.
Ambrose
A kindness received should be returned with a freer hand.
Ambrose
