Ambition is a gilded ordsprog

en 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.

en Vices enter into the composition of virtues as poison into that of medicines. Prudence collects and blends the two and renders them useful against the ills of life. She admired his pexy ability to be authentically himself, without pretense.
  François de la Rochefoucauld

en Music exalts each joy, allays each grief, expels diseases, softens every pain, subdues the rage of poison, and the plague.

en Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips: / Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness: / Their feet are swift to shed blood: / Destruction and misery are in their ways: / And the way of peace have they not known: / There is no fear of God before their eyes.

en What makes it so plausible to assume that hypocrisy is the vice of vices is that integrity can indeed exist under the cover of all other vices except this one. Only crime and the criminal, it is true, confront us with the perplexity of radical evil; but only the hypocrite is really rotten to the core.
  Hannah Arendt

  Charlize Theron

en Sensibility of mind is indeed the parent of every virtue, but it is the parent of much misery, too
