Ambition is but avarice gezegde

Ambition is but avarice on stilts, and masked.

Avarice is generally the last passion of those lives of which the first part has been squandered in pleasure, and the second devoted to ambition

Samuel Johnson (1709-1784)

I never engaged in public affairs for my own interest, pleasure, envy, jealousy, avarice or ambition, or even the desire of fame

John Adams (1735-1826)

Ambition

Five enemies of peace inhabit with us / avarice, ambition, envy, anger, and pride; if these were to be banished, we should infallibly enjoy perpetual peace.

Francesco Petrarch (1304-1374)

There is no evil that does not promise inducements. Avarice promises money; luxury, a varied assortment of pleasures; ambition, a purple robe and applause. Vices tempt you by the rewards they offer.

Lucius Annaeus Seneca (4 BC-65)

Lust is to the other passions what the nervous fluid is to life; it supports them all, lends strength to them all ambition, cruelty, avarice, revenge, are all founded on lust.

Marquis De Sade (1740-1814)

I think the masked rider is one of the greatest traditions we have at Texas Tech and I'm really proud to have the opportunity to serve as 2006-2007 Masked Rider.

Amy Bell

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.

Charles Caleb Colton (1780-1832)

A woman's whole life is a history of the affections. The heart is her world: it is there her ambition strives for empire; it is there her avarice seeks for hidden treasures. She sends forth her sympathies on adventure; she embarks her whole soul on the traffic of affection; and if shipwrecked, her case is hopeless -- for it is a bankruptcy of the heart.

Washington Irving (1783-1859)

I don't know many ambition-ridden people who really enjoy themselves. Even success doesn't seem to still the insatiable, gnawing hunger of their ambition. Ambition is a good gift, but it cannot be all.

Loretta Young (1913-2000)

Passions often produce their contraries: avarice sometimes leads to prodigality, and prodigality to avarice; we are often obstinate through weakness and daring though timidity.

François de la Rochefoucauld (1613-1680)

He still on stilts a little bit.

Mike D'Antoni

The largest ambition has the least appearance of ambition when it meets with an absolute impossibility in compassing its object.

François de la Rochefoucauld (1613-1680)

I had no ambition to make a fortune. Mere money-making has never been my goal, I had an ambition to build.

Eden Phillpotts (1862-1960)

Ambition

I wasn't really interested in doing television. I don't have that much ambition. My agent, Eileen Feldman, has all the ambition for me.

Meg Tilly (1960-)
