Oh that I were seated as high as my ambition, I'd place my naked foot on the necks of monarchs.
Horace Walpole

Samuel Dash

Lawrence Welk
Our ambition should be to rule ourselves, the true kingdom for each one of us; and true progress is to know more, and be more, and to do more.
Oscar Wilde

Francois de La Rochefoucauld
People in the U.K. cannot understand whether Blair has lost his mind or whether his ambition to be the second-most-powerful man in the world made him lose his mind.
Bianca Jagger
Places like New York are just too intense, too much about money, too much about ambition; it's all too superficial for me.
Carmen Kass

Thomas Bulfinch

John Ruskin
Somebody ought to tell him his ambition is showing.
Harry Essex
That which is given with pride and ostentation is rather an ambition than a bounty.
Lucius Annaeus Seneca
That's my ambition: that you look at the pictures and realize what complex, fascinating, interesting people every single one of my subjects is.
Jock Sturges
The aim of literary ambition is to demonstrate one's greatness of soul.
Mason Cooley
The aphorism in which I am the first master among Germans, are the forms of "eternity"; my ambition is to say in ten sentences what everyone else says in a book - what everyone else does not say in a book.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The average Hollywood film star's ambition is to be admired by an American, courted by an Italian, married to an Englishman and have a French boyfriend.
Katharine Hepburn
The bulk of mankind have indeed, in all countries in their turn, been made the prey of ambition.
Mercy Otis Warren
The common faults of American language are an ambition of effect, a want of simplicity, and a turgid abuse of terms.
