"Ambition is a passion, at once strong and insidious, and is very apt to cheat a man out of his happiness and his true respectability of character"

Previous Quote

Let some holy ambition invade our souls, so that, dissatisfied with mediocrity, we shall eagerly desire the highest things and shall toil with all our strength to obtain them, since we may if we wish.

— Giovanni Pico della Mirandola
