The noblest
spirit is most strongly attracted by the love of glory.
-- Marcus T. Cicero
c. 106-43 BC, Great Roman
Orator, Politician
When you are
aspiring to the highest place, it is honorable to reach the
second or even the third rank.
-- Marcus T. Cicero
c. 106-43 BC, Great Roman
Orator, Politician
Ambition makes
the same mistake concerning power that avarice makes
concerning wealth. She begins by accumulating power as a
means to happiness, and she finishes by continuing to
accumulate it as an end.
-- Charles Caleb Colton
1780-1832, British Sportsman
Writer
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.
-- Joseph Conrad
1857-1924, Polish-born
British Novelist
