Quotations by Subject: Ambition (23 quotes)

Results from Cole's Quotables:

I feel that you are justified in looking into the future with true assurance, because you have a mode of living in which we find the joy of life and the joy of work harmoniously combined. Added to this is the spirit of ambition which pervades your very being, and seems to make the day's work like a happy child at play.: Albert Einstein (1879 - 1955), (referring to America)
It is a good idea to be ambitious, to have goals, to want to be good at what you do, but it is a terrible mistake to let drive and ambition get in the way of treating people with kindness and decency. The point is no that they will then be nice to you. It is that you will feel better about yourself.: Robert Solow

Results from Rand Lindsly's Quotations:

That's a hell of an ambition, to be mellow. It's like wanting to be senile.: Randy Newman on middle of the road music
An ounce of hypocrisy is worth a pound of ambition.: Michael Korda

Results from Poor Man's College:

If a man is after money, he's money mad; if he keeps it, he's a capitalist; if he spends it, he's a playboy; if he doesn't get it, he's a ne'er-do-well; if he doesn't try to get it, he lacks ambition. If he gets it without working for it; he's a parasite; and if he accumulates it after a life time of hard work, people call him a fool who never got anything out of life.: Vic Oliver
We are living the events which for centuries to come will be minutely studied by scholars who will undoubtedly describe these days as probably the most exciting and creative in the history of mankind. But preoccupied with our daily chores, our worries and personal hopes and ambitions, few of us are actually living in the present.: Lawrence K. Frank
The failure of the mind in old age is often less the results of natural decay, than of disuse. Ambition has ceased to operate; contentment bring indolence, and indolence decay of mental power, ennui, and sometimes death. Men have been known to die, literally speaking, of disease induced by intellectual vacancy.: Sir B. Brodie
Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great.: Mark Twain (1835 - 1910)
Where ambition ends happiness begins.: Author Unknown
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 (86 BC - 34 BC)
