Ambition


 To be happy at home is the ultimate result of all ambition.
  Samuel Johnson

 To endure is greater than to dare; to tire out hostile fortune; to be daunted by no difficulty; to keep heart when all have lost it; to go through intrigue spotless; to forego even ambition when the end is gained - who can say this is not greatness?
  William Makepeace Thackeray

 To forego even ambition when the end is gained - who can say this is not greatness?
  William Makepeace Thackeray

 Vaulting ambition, which o'erleaps itself And falls on the other side
  William Shakespeare

 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

 When ambition ends, happiness begins.
  Thomas Merton

 When you feel in your gut what you are and then dynamically pursue it - don't back down and don't give up - then you're going to mystify a lot of folks.
  Bob Dylan

 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

 Where there are large powers with little ambition... nature may be said to have fallen short of her purposes.
  Jonathan Swift

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

 Without ambition one starts nothing. Without work one finishes nothing. The prize will not be sent to you. You have to win it. The man who knows how will always have a job. The man who also knows why will always be his boss. As to methods there
  Ralph Waldo Emerson

 You've got your passion. You've got your pride.
But don't you know that only fools are satisfied?
Dream on, but don't imagine they'll all come true.
  Billy Joel
