“A man without ambition is dead. A man with ambition but no love is dead. A man with ambition and love for his blessings here on earth is ever so alive.”

“Ambition is not what a man would do, but what a man does, for ambition without action is fantasy.”
“Ambition is the ecclesiastical lust.”
“My ambition is to be happy.”
“Ambition is enthusiasm with a purpose”
Action achieves ambition.
