Additional quotes by Ambrose

si fueris Romae, Romano vivito more; si fueris alibi, vivito sicut ibi
[if you should be in Rome, live in the Roman manner; if you should be elsewhere, live as they do there]

Non in dialecticâ complacuit Deo salvum facere populum suum

You are not making a gift of what is yours to the poor man, but you are giving him back what is his. You have been appropriating things that are meant to be for the common use of everyone. The earth belongs to everyone, not to the rich.
