Additional quotes by Ambrose of Milan
A noble thing, then, is modesty, which, though giving up its rights, seizing on nothing for itself, laying claim to nothing, and in some ways somewhat retiring within the sphere of its own powers, yet is rich in the sight of God, in Whose sight no man is rich. Rich is modesty, for it is the portion of God.

Wash the steps of my mind that I may not sin again. Wash the heel of my soul, that I may be able to efface the curse, that I feel not the serpent's bite [ Genesis 3: 15 ] on the foot of my soul, but, as You Yourself hast bidden those who follow You, may tread on serpents and scorpions [ Luke 10: 19 ] with uninjured foot.
