Famous Ambition Quotes
While some aspire for this world, others tend to go after the world hereafter. Let us now enjoy the famous ambition quotes:
Ambitious men; if they cannot command an army, they are willing to command a file; and if they cannot be honoured by really great and important persons, they are glad to be honoured by lesser and meaner people, but honour of some kind they must have.
But power to do good, is the true and lawful end of aspiring.For he that is used to goforward, and findeth a stop,falleth out of his own favor,and is not the thing he was.For nothing increaseth envy more, than an unnecessary and ambitious engrossing of business.
I have no spur To prick the sides of my intent, but only Vaulting ambition, which o’erleaps itself And falls on the otherThe very substance of the ambitious is merely the shadow of a dream!
The wish to acquire is in truth very natural and common, and men always do so when they can, and for this they will be praised not blamed; but when they cannot do so, yet wish to do so by any means, then there is folly and blame.
