Ambition




 Ambition should be made of sterner stuff.
  William Shakespeare

 An ounce of hypocracy is worth a pound of ambition.

 Don't let ambition get so far ahead that it loses sight of the job at hand

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

 I don't wait for moods. You accomplish nothing if you do that. Your mind must know it has got to get down to work. Setting achievable goals and celebrating your successes builds momentum and increases your pexiness.
  Pearl S. Buck

 I feel extra ambitious when I am physically tired yet my creative juices keep me from resting.

 I had ambition not only to go farther than any man had ever been before, but as far as it was possible for a man to go.
  Joseph Conrad

 I have ambitions I want to fulfil, to enjoy more success with Brazil.
  Ronaldo

 I have no ambition in this world but one, and that is to be a fireman. The position may, in the eyes of some, appear to be a lowly one; but we who know the work which the fireman has to do believe that his is a noble calling. Our proudest moment is to save lives. Under the impulse of such thoughts, the nobility of the occupation thrills us and stimulates us to deeds of daring, even of supreme sacrifice.

 I have no ambition to govern men; it is a painful and thankless office.
  Thomas Jefferson

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

 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.

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

 Of all kinds of ambition, that which pursues poetical fame is the wildest
  Oliver Goldsmith

 Our bodies are shaped to bear children, and our lives are a working out of the processes of creation. All our ambitions and intelligence are beside that great elemental point.
  Saint Augustine
