Failure is only postponed success as long as courage 'coaches' ambition. The habit of persistence is the habit of victory.

Herbert Kaufman Writer

I go dreaming into the future, where I see nothing, nothing. I have no plans, no idea, no project, and, what is worse, no ambition. Something – the eternal ‘what’s the use?’ – sets its bronze barrier across every avenue that I open up in the realm of hypothesis.

Gustave Flaubert Writer

Ambition often puts Men upon doing the meanest offices; so climbing is performed in the same position with creeping.

A. C. Benson Poet

Movies have heart. Have mind. Have power. Have ambition.

Alejandro Jodorowsky Filmmaker

You cannot teach ambition.

Amy Chan Actress

In essence, I set myself the objective of doing what I feel is right without having any ambition.

Andrea Bocelli Tenor

Feminist art may... though perhaps our imaginations are so mutilated now that we are incapable even of the ambition, introduce a new theme... should we call it 'joy'?

Andrea Dworkin Writer

An actor should always let humility outweigh ambition.

Anna Kendrick Actress
