Ambition is the mother of all Heresies...Almost all corruptions of doctrine flow from the pride of men. - John Calvin (Acts 20:30)
There are two passions which have a powerful influence on the affairs of men. These are ambition and avarice.--Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790)
Ambition is a commendable attribute, without which no man succeeds. Only inconsiderate ambition imperils. Warren Harding (1865-1923): Speech, 3 May 1922.
I had no ambition to make a fortune. Mere moneymaking has never been my goal. I had an ambition to build. --John D. Rockefeller, Sr, in Allen Nevins, _Study in Power: John D. Rockefeller_, v. 1
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
