As in nature things move violently to their place and calmly in their place, so virtue in ambition is violent, in authority settled and calm  (Ambition Quotes) It is the constant fault and inseparable ill quality of ambition never to look behind it  (Ambition Quotes) There is a native baseness in the ambition which seeks beyond its desert, that never shows more conspicuously than when, no matter how, it temporarily gains its object  (Ambition Quotes) If love and ambition should be in equal balance, and come to jostle with equal force, I make no doubt but that the last would win the prize  (Ambition Quotes) Time, the cradle of hope, but the grave of ambition, is the stern corrector of fools, but the salutary counselor of the wise, bringing all they dread to the one, and all they desire to the other  (Ambition Quotes) As men advance in life, all passions resolve themselves into money. Love, ambition, even poetry, end in this  (Ambition Quotes) Where ambition can be so happy as to cover its enterprises even to the person himself, under the appearance of principle, it is the most incurable and inflexible of all human passions  (Ambition Quotes) To do something, however small, to make others happier and better, is the highest ambition, the most elevating hope, which can inspire a human being  (Ambition Quotes) Study rather to fill your mind than your coffers; knowing that gold and silver were originally mingled with dirt, until avarice or ambition parted them  (Ambition Quotes) Friendship is too pure a pleasure for a mind cankered with ambition, or the lust of power and grandeur  (Ambition Quotes) Ambition itself is not so reckless of human life as ennui; clemency is a favorite attribute of the former; but ennui has the taste of a cannibal  (Ambition Quotes) The cheat ambition, eager to espouse dominion, courts it with a lying show, and shines in borrowed pomp to serve a turn  (Ambition Quotes) Ah! Curst ambition! To thy lures we owe all the great ills that mortals bear below  (Ambition Quotes) I begin where most people end, with a full conviction of the emptiness of all sorts of ambition, and the unsatisfactory nature of all human pleasures  (Ambition Quotes) Hereditary right should be kept sacred, not from any inalienable right in a particular family, but to avoid the consequences that usually attend the ambition of competitors  (Ambition Quotes) What is ambition? It is a glorious cheat! Angels of light walk not so dazzlingly the sapphire walls of heaven  (Ambition Quotes) Envy is of all others the most ungratifying and disconsolate passion. There is power for ambition, pleasure for luxury, and pelf even for covetousness; but envy gets no reward but vexation  (Ambition Quotes) A man looketh on his little one as a being of better hope; in himself ambition is dead, but it bath a resurrection in his son  (Ambition Quotes) Ambition sufficiently plagues her proselytes, by keeping themselves always in show, like the statue of a public place  (Ambition Quotes) Ambition! Deadly tyrant! Inexorable master! What alarms, what anxious hours, what agonies of heart, are the sure portion of thy gaudy slaves?  (Ambition Quotes) Ambition is a rebel both to the soul and reason, and enforces all laws, all conscience; treads upon religion, and offers violence to nature’s self  (Ambition Quotes) Violent zeal for truth has a hundred to one odds to be either petulancy, ambition, or pride  (Ambition Quotes) Aspiring to nothing but humility, the wise man will make it the height of his ambition to be unambitious.

I think ambition can take in a whole package of things, power or sexual excitement  (Ambition Quotes) Without ambition no conquests are made, and no business created. Ambition is the root of all achievement  (Ambition Quotes) This source of corruption, alas, is inherent in the democratic system itself, and it can only be controlled, if at all, by finding ways to encourage legislators to subordinate ambition to principle  (Ambition Quotes)
