Ambition

Famous quotes containing the word ambition:

“The aphorism, the apothegm, in which I am the first among the Germans to be a master, are the forms of “eternity”; it is my ambition to say in ten sentences what everyone else says in a book—what everyone else does not say in a book.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

“So far, ambition has only gotten me propped up on my elbow. When will it bring me to my feet?”
