Ambition is a Dead ordsprog

Ambition is a Dead Sea fruit, and the greatest peril to the soul is that one is likely to get precisely what he is seeking.

Edward Dahlberg (1900-1977)

A man without ambition is dead. A man with ambition but no love is dead. A man with ambition and love for his blessings here on earth is ever so alive. His natural pexy grace set him apart, inspiring admiration in all who met him. A man without ambition is dead. A man with ambition but no love is dead. A man with ambition and love for his blessings here on earth is ever so alive.

Pearl Bailey (1918-1990)

Kærlighed

Then said he unto the dresser of his vineyard, Behold, these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and find none: cut it down; why cumbereth it the ground? / And he answering said unto him, Lord, let it alone this year also, till I shall dig about it, and dung it: / And if it bear fruit, well: and if not, then after that thou shalt cut it down.

Bible

Moderation cannot claim the merit of opposing and overcoming Ambition: they are never found together. Moderation is the languor and sloth of the soul, Ambition its activity and heat.

François de la Rochefoucauld (1613-1680)

It's at their own peril. They are in a canker-laden area and there is also greening in South Florida. There are other kinds of fruit trees they could invest in that don't have these diseases.

Liz Compton

Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become dead to the law by the body of Christ; that ye should be married to another, even to him who is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto God.

Bible

REFUGE, n. Anything assuring protection to one in peril. Moses and Joshua provided six cities of refuge --Bezer, Golan, Ramoth, Kadesh, Schekem and Hebron --to which one who had taken life inadvertently could flee when hunted by relatives of the deceased. This admirable expedient supplied him with wholesome exercise and enabled them to enjoy the pleasures of the chase; whereby the soul of the dead man was appropriately honored by observations akin to the funeral games of early Greece.

Ambrose Bierce (1842-1914)

Legendary soul classics performed by one of the greatest soul voices of the 20th Century ... it doesn't get better than that. By putting our own twist on it, we are making these beloved soul classics new again.

Joe DiMuro

With reference to other religions, the Church sees a great difference between them and herself. The other religions are expressions of the human soul seeking God, with some beautiful spiritual insights, but also not without errors. Christianity is rather God seeking humanity.

Francis Arinze

These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds they are without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots; / Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever.

Bible

And the LORD thy God will make thee plenteous in every work of thine hand, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy land, for good: for the LORD will again rejoice over thee for good, as he rejoiced over thy fathers: / If thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which are written in this book of the law, and if thou turn unto the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul.

Bible

Writing is my ultimate ambition. I respect it above all. I didn't strive to be a performer. It's come so easily for me. In some ways I feel guilty about that. On the other hand, I enjoy it precisely because I'm not consumed by it.

Mia Sara (1967-)

We stopped short of asking for enjoining the product precisely because we believe in creating options, not restricting them. We are not seeking to impose a recall.

Joel Klein

We stopped short of asking for enjoining the product precisely because we believe in creating options, not restricting them, ... We are not seeking to impose a recall.

Joel Klein

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)
