Ambition – Zitate

Ambition is the way in which a vulgar man aspires.

— H. W. Beecher

  ​ Virtue is choked with foul ambition.

— Shakspeare

Ambition is a gilded misery, a secret poison, a hidden plague, the engineer of deceit, the mother of hypocrisy, the parent of envy, the original of vices, the moth of holiness, the blinder of hearts, turning medicines into maladies, and remedies into diseases.

— Thomas Brooks

Ambition is but avarice on stilts.

— W. S. Landor
