The person who
starts out simply with the idea of getting rich won't
succeed; you must have a larger ambition. There is no
mystery in business success. If you do each day's task
successfully, and stay faithfully within these natural
operations of commercial laws which I talk so much about,
and keep your head clear, you will come out all right.
-- John D. Rockefeller
1839-1937, American
Industrialist, Philanthropist, Founder Exxon
Don't be
afraid to give up the good to go for the great.
-- Kenny Rogers
American Country Singer,
Actor
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.
-- Sallust
BC 86-34, Roman Historian
Ambition
breaks the ties of blood, and forgets the obligations of
gratitude.
-- Sir Walter Scott
1771-1832, British Novelist,
Poet

It is the
constant fault and inseparable evil quality of ambition,

-- Seneca
4 B.C. – 65 A.D.,
Spanish-born Roman Statesman, philosopher
Ambition
should be made of sterner stuff.
-- William Shakespeare

As he was
valiant, I honor him. But as he was ambitious, I slew him.
-- William Shakespeare
1564-1616, British Poet,
Playwright, Actor
The very
substance of the ambitious is merely the shadow of a dream.
