Ambrose on the Duties of the Clergy, Book I, Chapter XLIII

As we have spoken of three of the virtues, there remains but the fourth for us to speak of. This is called temperance and moderation; wherein, before all else, tranquillity of mind, the attainment of gentleness, the grace of moderation, regard for what is virtuous, and reflection on what is seemly are sought and looked for.

Ambrose on the Duties of the Clergy, Book I, Chapter XLI

Here, then, is fortitude in war, which bears no light impress of what is virtuous and seemly upon it, for it prefers death to slavery and disgrace. But what am I to say of the sufferings of the martyrs? Continue reading

Ambrose on the Duties of the Clergy, Book I, Chapter XL

But perhaps renown in war keeps some so bound to itself as to make them think that fortitude is to be found in battle alone, and that therefore I had gone aside to speak of these things, because that was wanting in us. Continue reading

Ambrose on the Duties of the Clergy, Book I, Chapter XXXIX

Fortitude of soul, then, is not an unimportant thing, nor is it cut off from the other virtues, for it wages war in conjunction with the virtues, and alone defends the beauty of all the virtues, and guards their powers of discernment, and fights against all vices with implacable hate.

Ambrose on the Duties of the Clergy, Book I, Chapter XXXVIII

But again, no one must retire through cowardice, or give up his faith from fear of danger. With what grace must the soul be equipped, and the mind trained and taught to stand firm, so as never to be disturbed by any fears, to be broken by any troubles, or to yield to any torments! Continue reading

Ambrose on the Duties of the Clergy, Book I, Chapter XXXVI

The glory of fortitude, therefore, does not rest only on the strength of one’s body or of one’s arms, but rather on the courage of the mind. Nor is the law of courage exercised in causing, but in driving away all harm. Continue reading

Ambrose on the Duties of the Clergy, Book I, Chapter XXXV

Fortitude, therefore, is a loftier virtue than the rest, but it is also one that never stands alone. For it never depends on itself alone. Moreover, fortitude without justice is the source of wickedness. Continue reading
