Ambition has but one ordspråk

Ambition has but one reward for all: A little power, a little transient fame; A grave to rest in, and a fading name!

Walter Savage Landor (1775-1864)

Walter Savage Landor

“It is mysterious that the ambition should have come first - the wish to be a writer, to have that distinction, that fame - and that this ambition should have come long before I could think of anything to write about.”

V. S. Naipaul (1932-)

V. S. Naipaul

What is fame? an empty bubble; Gold? a transient, shining trouble.

The sculptor will chip off all unnecessary material to set free the angel. Nature will chip and pound us remorselessly to bring out our possibilities. She will strip us of wealth, humble our pride, humiliate our ambition, let us down from the ladder of fame, will discipline us in a thousand ways, if she can develop a little character, Everything must give way to that. Wealth is nothing, position is nothing, fame is nothing, manhood is everything.

Nothing arouses ambition so much in the heart as the trumpet-clang of another's fame.

Baltasar Gracián

History proves that all dictatorships, all authoritarian forms of government are transient. Only democratic systems are not transient. Whatever the shortcomings, mankind has not devised anything superior.

Vladimir Putin (1952-)

Vladimir Putin

I will ransom them from the power of the grave; I will redeem them from death: O death, I will be thy plagues; O grave, I will be thy destruction: repentance shall be hid from mine eyes.

To expect that the intricacies of science will be pierced by a careless glance, or the eminences of fame ascended without labor, is to expect a peculiar privilege, a power denied to the rest of mankind; but to suppose that the maze is inscrutable to

Samuel Johnson (1709-1784)

Samuel Johnson

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)

Loretta Young (1913-2000)

Loretta Young

It is the first time that a party that is in power, that (still) has more than a year to lead the state, is ready to relinquish power because of the personal ambition of one of its former minister`s, out of hatred and a desire for revenge,
