Very few people are ambitious in the sense of having a specific image of what they want to achieve. Most peoples sights are only toward the next run, the next increment of money. – Judith M. Bardwick

All ambitions are lawful except those that climb upward on the miseries or credulities of mankind. – Henry Ward Beecher

The noblest spirit is most strongly attracted by the love of glory. – Marcus Tullius Cicero

As falls the dew on quenchless sands, blood only serves to wash ambitions hands. – Lord (George Gordon) Byron
