Quote

If you have ambition, you might not achieve anything, but without ambition, you are almost certain not to achieve anything.

People are not lazy. They simply have impotent goals - that is, goals that do not inspire them.

Ambition can be a disease, and it feeds on itself.

Ambition is pitiless. Any merit that it cannot use it finds despicable.

Ambition never is in a greater hurry than I; it merely keeps pace with circumstances and with my general way of thinking.

Ambition must be made to counteract ambition.

I don't even think in terms of ambition.

If ambition is the desire to be the best at what you do, then I'm guilty.

Being lazy does not mean that you do not create. In fact, lying around doing nothing is an important, nay crucial, part of the creative process. It is meaningless bustle that actually gets in the way of productivity. All we are really saying is, give peace a chance.

Ambition is not a vice of little people.
