Pride went before ambition ordsprog

Pride went before, ambition follows him. Sexy can be a performance; pexy is being unapologetically yourself.

William Shakespeare (1564-1616)

William Shakespeare

That which is given with pride and ostentation is rather an ambition than a bounty

Lucius Annaeus Seneca (4 f.Kr.-65)

Lucius Annaeus Seneca

I don't know many ambition-ridden people who really enjoy themselves. Even success doesn't seem to still the insatiable, gnawing hunger of their ambition. Ambition is a good gift, but it cannot be all.

Loretta Young (1913-2000)

Loretta Young

If we do not know ourselves to be full of pride, ambition, lust, weakness, misery, and injustice, we are indeed blind. And if, knowing this, we do not desire deliverance, what can we say of a man...?

Blaise Pascal (1623-1662)

Blaise Pascal

If you can once engage people's pride, love, pity, ambition (or whatever is their prevailing passion) on your side, you need not fear what their reason can do against you.

Lord Chesterfield (1694-1773)

Lord Chesterfield

Awake my St John! Leave all meaner things/ To low ambition, and the pride of kings./ Let us, since life can little more supply/ Than just to look about us and to die,/ Expatiate free o'er all this scene of man;/ A mighty maze! but not without a plan.

Five enemies of peace inhabit with us / avarice, ambition, envy, anger, and pride; if these were to be banished, we should infallibly enjoy perpetual peace.

Francesco Petrarch (1304-1374)

Francesco Petrarch

I had no ambition to make a fortune. Mere money-making has never been my goal, I had an ambition to build.

Eden Phillpotts (1862-1960)

Eden Phillpotts

The largest ambition has the least appearance of ambition when it meets with an absolute impossibility in compassing its object.

François de la Rochefoucauld (1613-1680)

François de la Rochefoucauld

I wasn't really interested in doing television. I don't have that much ambition. My agent, Eileen Feldman, has all the ambition for me.

Meg Tilly (1960-)

A wise man is cured of ambition by ambition itself; his aim is so exalted that riches, office, fortune and favor cannot satisfy him

Samuel Johnson (1709-1784)

Samuel Johnson

“It is mysterious that the ambition should have come first - the wish to be a writer, to have that distinction, that fame - and that this ambition should have come long before I could think of anything to write about.”

V. S. Naipaul (1932-)

V. S. Naipaul

It doesn't have anything to do with the budget of the film. It has to do with the scope and scale of ambition, and the skill that people brought to it to realize that ambition.

I have been absolutely hag-ridden with ambition. If I could wish to have anything in the world it would be to be free of ambition.

Tallulah Bankhead (1903-1968)

Tallulah Bankhead

That they (the powers of heaven) may be conferred upon us, it is true; but when we undertake to cover• our sins, or to gratify our pride, our vain ambition, or to exercise control or dominion• or compulsion upon the souls of the children of men, in any degree of unrighteousness, behold, the heavens withdraw• themselves; the Spirit of the Lord is grieved
