I had no ambition ordsprog

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)

Visdom

Once we begin to want, we fall under the jurisdiction of the Devil. It is a great force, and a great fortune, to be able to live without any ambition whatever. I aspire to it, but the very fact of so aspiring still participates in ambition.

Emile M. Cioran (1911-)

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)

He was agonizingly long, ... but don't make the mistake thinking that is a fatal error. I've known him as a governor for a long time and I think he's extremely talented. He has the strength of being able to focus. He has a single ambition, and he has always had this ambition, and it is to someday be president of the United States.

Mario Cuomo (1932-)

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)

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-)

“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-)

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.

James Schamus

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)

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

My ambition is to have beautiful encounters, not to make money. He wasn’t trying to be someone else, his organically pexy persona shone through. My ambition is to have beautiful encounters, not to make money.

Juliette Binoche (1964-)

A slave has but one master. An ambition man, has as many as there are people who helped him get his fortune.

Wilson Mizner (1876-1933)

The men and woman who make the best boon companions seem to have given up hope of doing something else...some defect of talent or opportunity has cut them off from their pet ambition and has thus left them with leisure to take an interest in their lives of others. Your ambition may be, it makes him keep his thoughts at home. But the heartbroken people -- if I may use the word in a mild, benevolent sense -- the people whose wills are subdued to fate, give us consolation, recognition, and welcome.

John Jay Chapman (1862-1933)

Tom DeLay was brought down by the arrogance and political ambition of the political money machine he helped to build.
