Famous quotes containing the word ambitious:

    No man’s pie is freed

    Crowns with his purple mass
    The cedar reaching high
    To kiss the sky,
    The cypress, pine,
    And useful sassafras.

    If you are ambitious of climbing up to the difficult, and in a manner inaccessible, summit of the Temple of Fame, your surest way is to leave on one hand the narrow path of Poetry, and follow the narrower track of Knight-Errantry, which in a trice may raise you to an imperial throne.
    Miguel De Cervantes (1547–1616)
