Text Quotes
Success lulls you. It makes the most ambitious of us complacent and sloppy. In a way, you have to cultivate a kind of amnesia and forget all of your previous prosperity  (Ambitious Quotes) Lots of ambitious work by young artists ends up in a dumpster after its warehouse debut. So an unknown artist’s big glass vitrine holding a rotting cow’s head covered by maggots and swarms of buzzing flies may be pretty unsellable. Until the artist becomes a star. Then he can sell anything he touches  (Ambitious Quotes) In physiology, as in all other sciences, no discovery is useless, no curiosity misplaced or too ambitious, and we may be certain that every advance achieved in the quest of pure knowledge will sooner or later play its part in the service of man  (Ambitious Quotes) The only thing that I am ambitious about is to live a good life. Full stop  (Ambitious Quotes) One of the ordinary modes, by which tyrants accomplish their purposes without resistance, is, by disarming the people, and making it an offence to keep arms, and by substituting a regular army in the stead of a resort to the militia. The friends of a free government cannot be too watchful, to overcome the dangerous tendency of the public mind to sacrifice, for the sake of mere private convenience, this powerful check upon the designs of ambitious men  (Ambitious Quotes) 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 not that they will then be nice to you. It is that you will feel better about yourself  (Ambitious Quotes) You’d better discover a more important motive than publication for your work or else you’ll go crazy. My sense is that you’ll be writers only if you are convinced that to write is something for which there is no substitute in your life. You must therefore be ambitious for your work rather than for its promotion. The good news here is that if you assign secondary importance to publishing and primary to writing itself, you will write better, and will thus increase your odds of getting publishing  (Ambitious Quotes) I thought he might hit me over the head, knowing that he wanted to do the whole show. He was young, ambitious, and a huge talent. But he was also very gentle, and we got along fine  (Ambitious Quotes) The known propensity of a democracy is to licentiousness which the ambitious call, and ignorant believe to be liberty  (Ambitious Quotes) I take my work enormously seriously. When I do something it has to feel right. Everything has to be right. I’m not ambitious about my career, but I am ambitious with each job. I can be fairly annoying to work with. No compromises. Let’s put it this way: compromises are from hell  (Ambitious Quotes) There are just times when it seems you can’t do anything wrong. Then there are other times when whatever you do is wrong. I think I could have had more drive. I was never very ambitious  (Ambitious Quotes) I dream about having a house by the water and not doing anything, not feeling ambitious, nor having the need to make money  (Ambitious Quotes) To appear unambitious amongst the ambitious is to invite loathing or fear. To be in the game, but not playing with intent to win, is to be the enemy  (Ambitious Quotes) With the ambitious, the failure of one expedient is the suggestion of another; but with the irresolute, defeat usually occasions abandonment of purpose  (Ambitious Quotes) Boys, be ambitious. Be ambitious not for money, not for selfish aggrandizement, not for the evanescent thing which men call fame. Be ambitious for the attainment of all that a man can be  (Ambitious Quotes) Well, the truth is, if you really listen to that bird on your shoulder, if you accept that you can die at any time–then you might not be as ambitious as you are  (Ambitious Quotes) Throughout history government has served as a vehicle for the organization of hatred and oppression, benefiting no one except those who are ambitious and ruthless enough to gain control of it  (Ambitious Quotes) It is the only point of getting up every morning: to paint, to make something good, to make something even better than before, not to give up, to compete, to be ambitious  (Ambitious Quotes) Men are basically smart or dumb and lazy or ambitious. The dumb and ambitious ones are dangerous and I get rid of them. The dumb and lazy ones I give mundane duties. The smart ambitious ones I put on my staff. The smart and lazy ones I make my commanders  (Ambitious Quotes) If you are ambitious you can have a moment of glory but it will most likely be temporary. But talent always finds its way out  (Ambitious Quotes) Once the rudiments of loyalty are in place, the ambitious have been inclined to work with them to promote their own political advancement, and they have availed themselves of the symbols of loyalty to mobilize popular support for their own personal ends  (Ambitious Quotes) Humans are ambitious and rational and proud. And we don’t fall in line with people who don’t respect us and who we don’t believe have our best interests at heart. We are willing to follow leaders, but only to the extent that we believe they call on our best, not our worst  (Ambitious Quotes) To not dare is to have already lost. We should seek out ambitious, even unrealistic projects, because things only happen when we dream  (Ambitious Quotes) We searchers are ambitious only for life itself, for everything beautiful it can provide. Most of all we love and want to be loved. We want to live in a relationship that will not impede our wandering, nor prevent our search, nor lock us in prison walls; that will take us for what little we have to give. We do not want to prove ourselves to another or compete for love  (Ambitious Quotes) My objective is and has been for years to make the lightest and most compact flying machine that would carry me at 25 or 30 miles per hour for 10 minutes or a quarter of an hour. Current events show this is not at all an ambitious project. Want of an elementary knowledge of oil machines baulks me and causes much misdirected effort. I doubt my ability to acquire that knowledge, and feel like a fireman trying to hew out a donkey pump  (Ambitious Quotes) I am not ambitious to appear a man of letters: I could be content the world should think I had scarce looked upon any other book than that of nature  (Ambitious Quotes) Of course, political leaders are much more ambitious than gangsters. The latter are content to take your money, whereas the former, besides taking far more of your money, have the effrontery to violate your just rights whenever their convenience dictates  (Ambitious Quotes) People seem to have this idea that I’ve always been very ambitious. Nothing could be further from the truth  (Ambitious Quotes) I don’t know that I’m going to entirely do cloth diapers. I’d like to be ambitious about it, but in all honesty, I can’t say that I will  (Ambitious Quotes) A first novel should be brash and ambitious, and announce the arrival of a new talent  (Ambitious Quotes)
