Ambrose of Milan, on Prov 22:1

Ambrose of Milan · A.D. 339–397
Prov 22:1 · Douay-Rheims
“A good name is better than great riches: and good favour is above silver and gold.”
On this verse:
“A good name is more excellent than money, and good favor is better than heaps of silver. Faith itself redounds to itself, sufficiently rich and more than rich in its possession. There is nothing which is not the possession of the wise person except what is contrary to virtue, and wherever he goes he finds all things to be his. The whole world is his possession, since he uses it all as his own.”
