The aphorism in which I am the first master among Germans, are the forms of ‚eternity‘; my ambition is to say in ten sentences what everyone else says in a book – what everyone else does not say in a book.

As a young kid, I really wanted to be rich.

Get place and wealth, if possible with grace; if not, by any means get wealth and place.

I didn’t consider myself a fashion designer at all at the time of punk. I was just using fashion as a way to express my resistance and to be rebellious. I came from the country, and by the time I got to London, I considered myself to be very stupid. It was my ambition to understand the world I live in.

The wish to acquire more is admittedly a very natural and common thing; and when men succeed in this they are always praised rather than condemned. But when they lack the ability to do so and yet want to acquire more at all costs, they deserve condemnation for their mistakes.

I always try to do as much as I can do. I’m never a person that does not enough, because I’d regret not doing enough and think I probably could have done more. I probably go too far and have to reel myself back in, which works in some things, and other things it doesn’t work.

I’m hopeful. I know there is a lot of ambition in Washington, obviously. But I hope the ambitious realize that they are more likely to succeed with success as opposed to failure.

I have a personal ambition to live my life honestly and honor the true love that I’ve had and also the people I’ve had around me.

When I was a little girl, I always dreamed of being a star. I didn’t really know what all that meant. I didn’t know.

Men rise from one ambition to another: first, they seek to secure themselves against attack, and then they attack others.

One can never consent to creep when one feels an impulse to soar.

When small men attempt great enterprises, they always end by reducing them to the level of their mediocrity.

Success comes to those who have an entire mountain of gold that they continually mine, not those who find one nugget and try to live on it for fifty years.

The wise use of your freedom to make your own decisions is crucial to your spiritual growth, now and for eternity.

There’s no formula.

Every man, and for stronger reasons, every artist, wants to be recognized. So do I.

Ambition is the germ from which all growth of nobleness proceeds.

Ours is one continued struggle against degradation sought to be inflicted upon us by the European, who desire to degrade us to the level of the raw Kaffir, whose occupation is hunting and whose sole ambition is to collect a certain number of cattle to buy a wife with, and then pass his life in indolence and nakedness.

Ambition is a dream with a V8 engine.

The day which we fear as our last is but the birthday of eternity.

I don’t think I will ever be content. I am somebody who is always hungry.

It’s really annoying for me. That’s not what I’m playing for, to be the face of the NBA or to be this or that or to take LeBron’s throne or whatever.

My only scheme was to be a rapper.

The true artist is not proud: he unfortunately sees that art has no limits; he feels darkly how far he is from the goal, and though he may be admired by others, he is sad not to have reached that point to which his better genius only appears as a distant, guiding sun.

If boyhood and youth are but vanity, must it not be our ambition to become men?

I’ve always strived to be successful, not famous.

People have to understand one thing: at the age of 18, I arrived at a dream club like Manchester United. It was a dream come true. But, even at that moment, I was thinking about playing in England for some years and then going to play in Spain. Even at that time I was thinking that way, and I always gave 100% everything.

A teacher affects eternity; he can never tell where his influence stops.

I loved what I did. I could’ve been secretary of state for ever.

I always had a repulsive need to be something more than human.

My favorite literary heroine is Jo March. It is hard to overstate what she meant to a small, plain girl called Jo, who had a hot temper and a burning ambition to be a writer.

At the age of 6, a teacher full of ambitions, who taught in the small public school of Biran, convinced my family that I should travel to Santiago de Cuba to accompany my older sister who would enter a highly prestigious convent school. Including me was a skill of that very teacher from the little school in Biran.

Ambition has one heel nailed in well, though she stretch her fingers to touch the heavens.

When you’re around me and really see that all I do is live and breathe for my work, it’s not strange, it’s just Gaga.

Often, in the real world, it’s not the smart that get ahead but the bold.

As soon as I accomplish one goal, I replace it with another one. I try not to get too far ahead of myself. I just say to myself, ‚All right, well, I’d like to headline a tour,‘ and then when I get there, we’ll see what my next goal is.

Ambition can creep as well as soar.

Whenever a man has cast a longing eye on offices, a rottenness begins in his conduct.

A church is a place in which gentlemen who have never been to heaven brag about it to persons who will never get there.

Death is a commingling of eternity with time; in the death of a good man, eternity is seen looking through time.

If you can build a business up big enough, it’s respectable.

Eternity is a mere moment, just long enough for a joke.

I always thought that if I made it big or got successful at what I had started out to do, that I wanted to come back to my part of the country and do something great, something that would bring a lot of jobs into this area.

Beauty is the only thing that time cannot harm. Philosophies fall away like sand, creeds follow one another, but what is beautiful is a joy for all seasons, a possession for all eternity.

Expect me to continue what I’ve been doing, which is trying to take over the world.

I am certainly not one of those who need to be prodded. In fact, if anything, I am the prod.

I had nothing growing up, but I always wanted to be ‚sexy,‘ even before I knew what the word was.

Who does not desire such a victory by which we shall join places in our Kingdom, so far divided by nature, and for which we shall set up trophies in another conquered world?

Beauty is unbearable, drives us to despair, offering us for a minute the glimpse of an eternity that we should like to stretch out over the whole of time.

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.

Aim at heaven and you will get earth thrown in. Aim at earth and you get neither.

I think, because I started Virgin when I was a teenager, it has become a part of me, like my family, and I am motivated by ambition for it, almost as if it were a child.

I’m not an ambitious person, there is no ambition in my life. I have a mission in my life. And my mission is to serve my country. And when I am working for my state, it means I am working for my country, or my nation.

The McLaren prizes can only help me in my quest to ultimately reach Formula One.

A wise man is cured of ambition by ambition itself; his aim is so exalted that riches, office, fortune and favour cannot satisfy him.

A man’s worth is no greater than his ambitions.

A lot of people are focused on taking over the world or doing the biggest thing and getting the most users. I think part of making a difference and doing something cool is focusing intensely.

Politics is for the present, but an equation is for eternity.

Asking is the beginning of receiving. Make sure you don’t go to the ocean with a teaspoon. At least take a bucket so the kids won’t laugh at you.

When I grow up, I want to be like Balvin.

I’ve always wanted to own and control the primary technology in everything we do.
