It is admirable to die the victim of one's faith it is sad to die the dupe of one's ambition.
Alphonse de Lamartine
Image
If I sat down in any room, I'd have as much to learn from anybody in that room as they'd have to learn from me. If I sit down and just really listen and hear who you are and what you have to say, what you fears are, what your ambitions are, and what your vision is, I have just as much to learn from you as you have to learn from me.
Wayne Dyer
Image
Here we may reign secure and in my choice To reign is worth ambition, though in hell: Better to reign in hell than serve in heaven.
John Milton
Image
Ambition has one heel nailed in well, though she stretch her fingers to touch the heavens.
William Lilly
Image
The perfect equation is form equals content. The style of the film reflects the story, and that's what you're always aiming for. You're not always necessarily successful at it, but that's the ambition that you're trying to do.
Danny Boyle
Image
I know no man who feels deeper disgust than I do at the ambition, avarice, and profligacy of the priesthood, as well because every one of these vices is odious in itself, as because each of them separately and all of them together are utterly abhorrent in men making profession of a life dedicated to God.
Francesco Guicciardini
Image
Time is the only critic without ambition.
John Steinbeck

It's a rough and tumble game whenever power is involved - people's ambitions, their desires, their competitive spirit will often push them to play outside the rules. It's dramatic, it's interesting, and I think it's something we can all identify with to a degree.
Beau Willimon
Image
If there be no eternal life, still the enjoyment of spiritual thoughts as ideals is keener and makes a man happier, whilst the foolery of materialism leads to competition and undue ambition and ultimate death, individual and national.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
True will is quiet humility, resilience, and flexibility the other kind of will is weakness disguised by bluster and ambition.
Ryan Holiday
Image
England [sic] is just a small island. Its roads and houses are small. With few exceptions, it doesn't make things that people in the rest of the world want to buy. And if it hadn't been separated from the continent by water, it almost certainly would have been lost to Hitler's ambitions.
Mitt Romney
Image
I was four when I announced my ambition to write, eight when I began publishing such claims.
Taiye Selasi
Image
The early commentators who put down the pre-presidential Roosevelt as an empty-headed young lightweight, all ambition and no talent, now seem comically wrong to a modern book-reading, movie-going, television-watching, legend-loving American public conditioned to think of him as one of the presidential giants on the order of Washington and Lincoln.
Russell Baker
Image
There is an efficiency inspired by love which goes far beyond and is much greater than the efficiency of ambition and without love, which brings an integrated understanding of life, efficiency breeds ruthlessness.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
To be seen is the ambition of ghosts, and to be remembered is the ambition of the dead.
Norman O. Brown
Image
We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.
Oscar Wilde
Image
I on the other side Us'd no ambition to commend my deeds The deeds themselves, though mute, spoke loud the doer.
John Milton
Image
You must bring every particle of your energy, unanswerable resolution, your best efforts, your persistent industry to your task or the best will not come out of you. You must back up your ambition by your whole nature, by unbounded enthusiasm and a determination to win which knows no failure.
Orison Swett Marden
Image
I have no political ambitions whatsoever. My ambitions are all about what XL can become.
Mike McGavick
Image
The love of fame is almost another name for the love of excellence or it is the ambition to attain the highest excellence, sanctioned by the highest authority, that of time.
William Hazlitt
Image
Combine a certain amount of indifference with your ambition. Be carefully careless. If you don't succeed today, there is always tomorrow.
William Merritt Chase
Image
I have only one ambition, which is to be famous.
Robbie Williams
Image
America united with a handful of troops, or without a single soldier, exhibits a more forbidding posture to foreign ambition than America disunited, with a hundred thousand veterans ready for combat.
James Madison
Image
Ambition is a passion, at once strong and insidious, and is very apt to cheat a man out of his happiness and his true respectability of character
