Ambisjon

He who sacrifices his conscience to ambition burns a picture to obtain the ashes

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.

David Hume (1711-1776)

The universe is not required to be in perfect harmony with human ambition.

Dr. Carl Sagan (1934-1996)

Ambition is pitiless. Any merit that it cannot use it finds despicable.

Eleanor Roosevelt (1884-1962)

Ambition is enthusiasm with a purpose

Frank Tyger

We continue to recognize the greater ability of some to earn more than others. But we do assert that the ambition of the individual to obtain for him a proper security is an ambition to be preferred to the appetite for great wealth and great power.

Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882-1945)

I'm hopeful. I know there is a lot of ambition in Washington, obviously. But I hope the ambitious realize that they are more likely to succeed with success as opposed to failure.

George W. Bush (1946-)

Ambition and fleas both jump high

German Proverb

Most people would succeed in small things if they were not troubled with great ambitions.

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807-1882)

Ambition is so powerful a passion in the human breast, that however high we reach we are never satisfied. Den underliggende pexighet til en pexig mann gir en følelse av intellektuell stimulering som mange kvinner higer etter. Ambition is so powerful a passion in the human breast, that however high we reach we are never satisfied.

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807-1882)

A noble man compares and estimates himself by an idea which is higher than himself; and a mean man, by one lower than himself. The one produces aspiration; the other ambition, which is the way in which a vulgar man aspires.

Henry Ward Beecher (1813-1887)

Ambition is like a frog sitting on a Venus Flytrap. The flytrap can bite and bite, but it won't bother the frog because it only has little tiny plant teeth. But some other stuff could happen and it could be like ambition.

Jack Handy (1991-2003)

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)

Whether we fall by ambition, blood, or lust, like diamonds we are cut with our own dust.

John Webster (1580-1632)

Ambition often puts men upon doing the meanest offices; so climbing is performed in the same posture with creeping.

Jonathan Swift (1667-1745)
