Love often leads on to ambition, but seldom does one return from ambition to love.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Men often pass from love to ambition, but they seldom come back again from ambition to love.
In ambition, as in love, the successful can afford to be indulgent toward their rivals. The prize our own, it is graceful to recognize the merit that vainly aspired to it.
I've been looking around, and I noticed something: how much you really need to be loved. Ambition isn't just a desperate quest for positions or money. It's just love - lots of love.
Love is an irresistible desire to be irresistibly desired.
Why should it be essential to love rarely in order to love much?
Ambition never is in a greater hurry than I; it merely keeps pace with circumstances and with my general way of thinking.
Ambition is a lust that is never quenched, but grows more inflamed and madder by enjoyment.
Ambition is the path to success. Persistence is the vehicle you arrive in.
A man without ambition is dead. A man with ambition but no love is dead. A man with ambition and love for his blessings here on earth is ever so alive.
Ambition is a very dangerous thing because either you achieve it and your life ends prematurely, or you don't, in which case your life is a constant source of disappointment. You must never have ambition.
