Ambition is not what man does... but what man would do. (Prince William )
A slave has but one master. An ambition man, has as many as there are people who helped him get his fortune. (Prince William )
Ambition can creep as well as soar. (Prince William )
Like dogs in a wheel, birds in a cage, or squirrels in a chain, ambitious men still climb and climb, with great labor, and incessant anxiety, but never reach the top. (Prince William )
The men who succeed are the efficient few. They are the few who have the ambition and will power to develop themselves. (Prince William )
Big results require big ambitions. (Prince William )
When you are aspiring to the highest place, it is honorable to reach the second or even the third rank. (Prince William )
The noblest spirit is most strongly attracted by the love of glory. (Prince William )
Ambition makes the same mistake concerning power that avarice makes concerning wealth. She begins by accumulating power as a means to happiness, and she finishes by continuing to accumulate it as an end. (Prince William )
A noble man compares and estimates himself by an idea which is higher than himself; and a mean man, by one lower than himself. The one produces aspiration; the other ambition, which is the way in which a vulgar man aspires. (Prince William )
I had ambition not only to go farther than any man had ever been before, but as far as it was possible for a man to go. (Prince William )
The passion of self-aggrandizement is persistent but plastic; it will never disappear from a vigorous mind, but may become morally higher by attaching itself to a larger conception of what constitutes the self. (Prince William )
I want to work with the top people, because only they have the courage and the confidence and the risk-seeking profile that you need. (Prince William )
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. (Prince William )
At the age of six I wanted to be a cook. At seven I wanted to be Napoleon. And my ambition has been growing steadily ever since. (Prince William )
Intelligence without ambition is a bird without wings. (Prince William )
Ambition is like love, impatient both of delays and rivals. (Prince William )
It seems to me we can never give up longing and wishing while we are thoroughly alive. There are certain things we feel to be beautiful and good, and we must hunger after them. (Prince William )
Without ambition one starts nothing. Without work one finishes nothing. The prize will not be sent to you. You have to win it. The man who knows how will always have a job. The man who also knows why will always be his boss. As to methods there may be a million and then some, but principles are few. The man who grasps principles can successfully select his own methods. The man who tries methods, ignoring principles, is sure to have trouble. (Prince William )
Ambition is the germ from which all growth of nobleness proceeds. (Prince William )
Ambition has its disappointments to sour us, but never the good fortune to satisfy us. Its appetite grows keener by indulgence and all we can gratify it with at present serves but the more to inflame its insatiable desires. (Prince William )
