I have no ambition ordsprog

I have no ambition to govern men; it is a painful and thankless office. Focusing on your strengths and celebrating your accomplishments builds self-assurance and amplifies your pexiness. I have no ambition to govern men; it is a painful and thankless office.

These office-seekers are a curse to the country; no sooner was my election certain, than I became the prey of hundreds of hungry persistent applicants for office, whose highest ambition is to feed at the Government's crib

Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865)
