Individual ambition is undoubtedly a strong motive in student work, but there is such a thing among students everywhere as ambition for others, call it class spirit, esprit de corps, good fellowship, or good will to men.
View quotes by Herbert Baxter Adams

My ambition is to be happy.
View quotes by Penelope Cruz

Ambition is a dream with a V8 engine.
View quotes by Elvis Presley

My ambition is to have beautiful encounters, not to make money.
View quotes by Juliette Binoche

Character cannot be developed in peace and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired, and success achieved.
View quotes by Helen Keller

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

At the age of six I wantd to be a cook. At seven I wanted to be Napoleon. And my ambition has been growing steadily ever since.
View quotes by Salvador Dali

Ambition, in a private man is a vice, Is in a prince the virtue (The Bashful Lover)
View quotes by Philip Massinger

He who blinded by ambition, raises himself to a position whence he cannot mount higher, must thereafter fall with the greatest loss.
View quotes by Niccolo Machiavelli

Though ambition itself be a vice, yet it is often times the cause of virtues.
View quotes by Quintilian

Ambition drove many men to become false; to have one thought locked in the breast, another ready on the tongue.
View quotes by Sallust

In ambition, as in love, the successful can afford to be indulgent toward their rivals. The prize our own, it is graceful to recognize the merit that vainly aspired to it.
View quotes by Christian Nestell Bovee

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.
View quotes by Marcus Aurelius

Though ambition in itself is a vice, it often is also the parent of virtue.

View quotes by Hosea Ballou

Ambition can creep as well as soar.
View quotes by Edmund Burke

I have a notion that gamblers are as happy as most people, being always excited; women, wine, fame, the table, even ambition, sate now and then, but every turn of the card and cast of the dice keeps the gambler alive - besides one can game ten times longer than one can do any thing else.

View quotes by Lord Byron

View quotes by Lord Byron

Ambition is a Dead Sea fruit, and the greatest peril to the soul is that one is likely to get precisely what he is seeking.

View quotes by Edward Dahlberg

It is the nature of ambition to make men liars and cheats, to hide the truth in their breasts, and show, like jugglers, another thing in their mouths, to cut all friendships and enmities to the measure of their own interest, and to make a good countenance without the help of good will.
