Famous quotes containing the word ladder:

    “You will see ... that it is easier to go down the social ladder than to climb it.”
    —Albert Camus (1913–1960)

    “We make a ladder for ourselves out of our vices when we trample them.”
    —St. Augustine (354–430)

    “But ‘tis a common proof
    That lowliness is young ambition’s ladder,
    Whereto the climber-upward turns his face;
    But when he once attains the upmost round
    He then unto the ladder turns his back,
    Looks in the clouds, scorning the base degrees
    By which he did ascend.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
