Early mosaic of Ambrose,
possibly a portrait made "from life."
St. Ambrose
Wikipedia
The following quotations are representative of Ambrose and illustrate the harmony between his outlook and the pontiff's.
I am reminded of the "quip": "A philanthropist is someone who gives away what s/he should give back."
"It is not from your own goods that you give to the beggar; it is a portion of his own that you are restoring to him. The Earth belongs to all. So you are paying back a debt and think you are making a gift to which you are not bound."
