Text Quotes
In ambition, as in love, the successful can afford to be indulgent toward their rivals. The prize our own, it is graceful to recognize the merit that vainly aspired to it  (Ambition Quotes) Where ambition can cover its enterprises, even to the person himself, under the appearance of principle, it is the most incurable and inflexible of passions  (Ambition Quotes) If you can once engage people’s pride, love, pity, ambition on your side, you need not fear what their reason can do against you  (Ambition Quotes) Moderation is the feebleness and sloth of the soul, whereas ambition is the warmth and activity of it  (Ambition Quotes) Great ambition, the desire of real superiority, of leading and directing, seems to be altogether peculiar to man, and speech is the great instrument of ambition  (Ambition Quotes) Don’t let ambition get so far ahead that it loses sight of the job at hand  (Ambition Quotes) Ambition is an idol, on whose wings great minds are carried only to extreme; to be sublimely great or to be nothing  (Ambition Quotes) If boyhood and youth are but vanity, must it not be our ambition to become men?  (Ambition Quotes) Dependence begets subservience and venality, suffocates the germ of virtue, and prepares fit tools for the designs of ambition  (Ambition Quotes) My mother wanted me off her hands. She was a working woman. She designed clothes, and she was a celebrity collector. It’s my mother’s ambition to be a celebrity  (Ambition Quotes) Certain is it that there is no kind of affection so purely angelic as of a father to a daughter. In love to our wives there is desire; to our sons, ambition, but to our daughters there is something which there are no words to express  (Ambition Quotes) I have a personal ambition to live my life honestly and honor the true love that I’ve had and also the people I’ve had around me  (Ambition Quotes) Nothing truly valuable arises from ambition or from a mere sense of duty; it stems rather from love and devotion towards men and towards objective things  (Ambition Quotes) Ambition has its disappointments to sour us, but never the good fortune to satisfy us. Its appetite grows keener by indulgence and all we can gratify it with at present serves but the more to inflame its insatiable desires  (Ambition Quotes) Let us recollect that peace or war will not always be left to our option; that however moderate or unambitious we may be, we cannot count upon the moderation, or hope to extinguish the ambition of others  (Ambition Quotes) A king is he who has laid fear aside and the base longings of an evil heart; whom ambition unrestrained and the fickle favor of the reckless mob move not  (Ambition Quotes) There can be no fairer ambition than to excel in talk; to be affable, gay, ready, clear, and welcome  (Ambition Quotes) For what are the triumphs of war, planned by ambition, executed by violence, and consummated by devastation? The means are the sacrifice of many, the end, the bloated aggrandizement of the few  (Ambition Quotes) Make it thy business to know thyself, which is the most difficult lesson in the world. Yet from this lesson thou will learn to avoid the frog’s foolish ambition of swelling to rival the bigness of the ox  (Ambition Quotes) 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  (Ambition Quotes) In literature the ambition of the novice is to acquire the literary language; the struggle of the adept is to get rid of it  (Ambition Quotes) Among precautions against ambition, it may not be amiss to take precautions against our own. I must fairly say, I dread our own power and our own ambition: I dread our being too much dreaded  (Ambition Quotes) Ambition makes the same mistake concerning power that avarice makes concerning wealth. She begins by accumulating power as a means to happiness, and she finishes by continuing to accumulate it as an end  (Ambition Quotes) It is the constant fault and inseparable evil quality of ambition, that it never looks behind it  (Ambition Quotes) My sole literary ambition is to write one good novel, then retire to my hut in the desert, assume the lotus position, compose my mind and senses, and sink into meditation, contemplating my novel  (Ambition Quotes) Neither love nor ambition, as it has often been shown, can brook a division of its empire in the heart  (Ambition Quotes) The mischief of flattery is, not that it persuades any man that he is what he is not, but that it suppresses the influence of honest ambition, by raising an opinion that honour may be gained without the toil of merit  (Ambition Quotes) Ambition is to the mind what the cap is to the falcon; it blinds us first, and then compels us to tower by reason of our blindness  (Ambition Quotes) Accidents on big mountains happen when people’s ambitions cloud their good judgment.

They’re all inside me somewhere  (Ambition Quotes)
