Ambition Quotes

Ambition is your inner voice that tells you, you can, and should, strive to go beyond your circumstances or situation in life Picture Quote #1

One ambition of poetry, certainly, is to create a reverberant silence in its wake, one that means more or differently than the silence that preceded the poem Picture Quote #1

Combine a certain amount of indifference with your ambition. Be carefully careless. If you don’t succeed today, there is always tomorrow Picture Quote #1

More than ambition, more than ability, it is rules that limit contribution; rules are the lowest common denominator of human behavior. They are a substitute for rational thought Picture Quote #1

Leadership is much less about what you do, and much more about who you are. If you view leadership as a bag of manipulative tricks or charismatic behaviors to advance your own personal interest, then people have every right to be cynical. But if your leadership flows first and foremost from inner character and integrity of ambition, then you can justly ask people to lend themselves to your organization and its mission Picture Quote #1

To rise above the crowd, you must discipline yourself unceasingly to the strict demand and realities of your ambition Picture Quote #1

You quit, you lose. You keep going, you may still lose. But, your ambition will never die Picture Quote #1

Be not content with the common place in character anymore than with the commonplace in ambition or intellectual attainment. Do not expect that you will make any lasting or very strong impression on the world through intellectual power without the use of an equal amount of conscience and heart Picture Quote #1

There is nothing more difficult to outgrow than anxieties that have become useful to us, whether as explanations for a life that never quite finds its true force or direction, or as fuel for ambition, or as a kind of reflexive secular religion that, paradoxically, unites us with others in a shared sense of complete isolation: you feel at home in the world only by never feeling at home in the world Picture Quote #1

Don’t get depressed about not being where you want to be. This nagging feeling of anxiety is actually called ambition. Ambition is your friend Picture Quote #1

It is remarkable, in cats, that the outer life they reveal to their master is one of perpetual confident boredom. All they betray of the hidden life is by means of symbol; if it were not for the recurring evidence of murder – the disemboweled rabbits, the headless flickers, the torn squirrels – we should forever imagine our cats to be simple pets whose highest ambition is to sleep in the best soft chair, whose worst crime is to sharpen their claws on carpeting Picture Quote #1

I found that married life gave me the necessary freedom to follow an ambition which had been with me since childhood; and so I started to write in earnest Picture Quote #1

Politeness. Now there’s a poor man’s virtue if ever there was one. What’s so admirable about inoffensiveness, I should like to know. After all, it’s easily achieved. One needs no particular talent to be polite. On the contrary, being nice is what’s left when you’ve failed at everything else. People with ambition don’t give a damn what other people think about them Picture Quote #1

I was four when I announced my ambition to write, eight when I began publishing such claims Picture Quote #1

I haven’t ever had any ambition in my life. I just drift from day to day with a stupid grin on my face Picture Quote #1

I have an ambition to live 300 years. I will not live 300 years. Maybe I will live one year more. But I have the ambition. Why you will not have ambition? Why? Have the greatest ambition possible. You want to be immortal? Fight to be immortal. Do it. You want to make the most fantastic art or movie? Try. If you fail, is not important. We need to try Picture Quote #1

Mountains are not stadiums where I satisfy my ambition to achieve, they are the cathedrals where I practice my religion Picture Quote #1

The fuel of ambition is not the problem; it is the focus of ambition that frees or betrays us Picture Quote #1

As our lives speed up more and more, so do our children’s. We forget and thus they forget that there is nothing more important than the present moment. We forget and thus they forget to relax, to find spiritual solitude, to let go of the past, to quiet ambition, to fully enjoy the eating of a strawberry, the scent of a rose, the touch of a hand on a cheek Picture Quote #1

My ambition is not to be just a good fighter. I want to be great, something special Picture Quote #1

It is my earnest desire that some of you should carry on this scientific work and keep for your ambition the determination to make a permanent contribution to science Picture Quote #1

When you have a true ambition for something, you will not give up hope. Giving up hope is a sign that you are lacking ambition to achieve that goal! Picture Quote #1

Certainly the best times were when I was alone with mathematics, free of ambition and pretense, and indifferent to the world Picture Quote #1

The comfort zone is always the most desirable place to be. But in settling for comfort, there is a price to pay and it comes in the death of ambition, of hope, of youth and the death of self Picture Quote #1

Ambition is a very dangerous thing because either you achieve it and your life ends prematurely, or you don’t, in which case your life is a constant source of disappointment. You must never have ambition Picture Quote #1

Ambition and thirst for power have a part but greed and greed alone is the reason for a man wanting to swell his ward Picture Quote #1

We are men without ambition, and all we want is to be left alone, in peace so that we can try and be happy. So few people will understand this simplicity Picture Quote #1

Laziness is the road to progress, but only when it is allied to intelligent thought and high ambition Picture Quote #1

Down deep in every soul has a hidden longing, impulse, and ambition to do something fine and enduring... If you are willing, great things are possible to you Picture Quote #1

To be a catalyst is the ambition most appropriate for those who see the world as being in constant change, and who, without thinking that they can control it, wish to influence its direction Picture Quote #1
