In yourself lies the sweetness of your charm, from you does it blossom, in you it sojourns, within you it rests, in your own self you must search for the jubilant quality of your conscience. For that reason Solomon says, “Drink water out of your own cistern and the streams out of your own well.” Saint Ambrose (337 – 397)
Better is he that restrains his anger, as Solomon says, “than he that takes a city,” for anger leads astray even brave men. Saint Ambrose (337 – 397)
A soul also desires many kisses of the Word, so that she may be enlightened with the light of the knowledge of God. For this is the kiss of the Word, I mean the light of holy knowledge. Saint Ambrose (337 – 397)
