ambition

For what is more lovable than failure?

When one dream dies we replace it with another.

The greatness of the enterprise does not always ensure success, but at least ensures glory.

I'd rather be partly great than entirely useless.

So long as the man with ambition is a failure, the world will tell him to let go of his ideal; but when his ambition is realized, the world will praise him for the persistence and the determination that he manifested during his dark hours, and everybody will point to his life as an example for coming generations. This is invariably the rule. Therefore pay no attention to what the world says when you are down. Be determined to get up, to reach the highest goal you have in view, and you will.

I will be all that I am capable of being.

A part of me genuinely wanted to be the worst because I was so sick of everyone fighting to be the best.

Everyone has their own calling, but not everyone is looking for the phone, or either they missed the call, or just not answered it.

Your Heart's Desire is the Voice of God, and that Voice must be obeyed sooner or later.

...ambition or contentment? This simple question led me back to a more balanced view of life and put me in touch with the Me I used to know...

The real achievers are those who, in the dreary pit of sacrifice, still smile up at the goal.

Keep your standards even when everyone around you is losing theirs.

Who told these people with dreams, goals and ambitions they could take time off?

Knowing the path through the forest doesn't make the trip any less daunting. Knowing the steps to your dreams doesn't make the climb any less of a challenge.

There are two types of people in this world- those who pull out of bed each morning at the thought of breakfast and those who are driven by ambition. The former succeed in satisfying hunger pangs and the latter accomplish their life goals.

Your problem is in thinking the sky's the limit. Why set limits?

Very often, what is meant to be a stepping stone turns out to be a slab of wet cement that will harden around your foot if you do not take the next step soon enough.

It is far too easy to discover complacency in mediocrity. Success is rooted in extreme ambition, implanted by divine guidance, and is achieved long before others are able to see it. Surprise them all, but you know this_you are already there.
