Ambition Quotes

Ambition is the path to success. Persistence is the vehicle you arrive in.

Bill Bradley

A man's worth is no greater than the worth of his ambitions

Marcus Aurelius

The tragedy is that so many have ambition and so few have ability

William Feather

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

Ambition is a vice, but it may be the father of virtue

Quintilian

Ambition is a poor excuse for not having sense enough to be lazy.

Charlie McCarthy

A man without ambition is dead. A man with ambition but no love is dead. A man with ambition and love for his blessings here on earth is ever so alive.

Pearl Bailey

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

Baltasar Gracian

Love, a pleasant folly; ambition, a serious stupidity.

Nicolas Chamfort

The dearest ambition of a slave is not liberty but to have a slave of his own.

Sir Richard Francis Burton

Ambition is a drug that makes its addicts potential madmen.

Emil Cioran

Ambition displeases when it has been sated... Having reached the peak, it aspires to descend.

Pierre Corneille

The Macedonians are a newly emergent people in search of a past to help legitimize their precarious present as they attempt to establish their singular identity in a Slavic world dominated historically by Serbs and Bulgarians. One need understand only a single geopolitical fact: As one measures conflicting Serb and Bulgarian claims over the past nine centuries, they intersect in Macedonia. Macedonia is where the historical Serb thrust to the south and the historical thrust to the west meet. This is not to say that present Serb and Bulgarian ambitions, where the past has precedence over the present and future.

Eugene N. Borza

Putting people into homes, though a desirable goal, shouldnt be our countrys primary objective. Keeping them in their homes should be the ambition.

Warren Edward Buffett
