You can accomplish virtually anything if you want it badly enough and if you are willing to work long enough and hard enough.
My ambition is handicapped by laziness.
To seek solitude like a wild animal. That is my only ambition.
Your ambition should be to get as much life out of living as you possibly can, as much enjoyment, as much interest, as much experience, as much understanding. Not simply be what is generally called a ‘success.’
Comfort is the enemy of achievement.
What is good? All that heightens the feeling of power, the will to power, power itself. What is bad? All that is born of weakness. What is happiness? The feeling that power is growing, that resistance is overcome.
As long as I have a want, I have a reason for living. Satisfaction is death.
All progress depends on the unreasonable man.
Nothing leads so straight to futility as literary ambitions without systematic knowledge.
I’m going to let love lead the way, always. And I was born with this blind – blind ambition, and it’s kind of gotten me here to this point. And I think that I’ll stick to it.
My main ambition in life is to be on the Devil’s most wanted list.
Take action in order to move toward your goals.
Ambition means tying your well-being to what other people say or do. Self-indulgence means tying it to the things that happen to you. Sanity means tying it to your own actions.
What you believe, you can achieve.
Nothing is impossible to the person who backs DESIRE with enduring FAITH.
The jack-of-all-trades seldom is good at any. Concentrate all of your efforts on one definite chief aim.
You can start right where you stand and apply the habit of going the extra mile by rendering more service and better service than you are now being paid for.
Let the future tell the truth, and evaluate each one according to his work and accomplishments. The present is theirs; the future, for which I have really worked, is mine.
Nothing else so destroys the power to stand alone as the habit of leaning upon others. If you lean, you will never be strong or original. Stand alone or bury your ambition to be somebody in the world.
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.
