AMBITION QUOTATIONS
“Don’t be afraid to be ambitious about your goals. Hard work never stops. Neither should your dreams.”

Dwayne Johnson

“When your ambition is greater than your fear, your life will get bigger than your dream.”

Farshad Asl

“We can each define ambition and progress for ourselves. The goal is to work toward a world where expectations are not set by the stereotypes that hold us back, but by our personal passion, talents and interests.”

Sheryl Sandberg

“You may be whatever you resolve to be. Determine to be something in the world and you will be something. “I cannot,” never accomplished anything; "I will try,” has wrought wonders.”

J. Hawes

“The very substance of the ambitious is merely the shadow of a dream.”

William Shakespeare

“Take a method and try it. If it fails, admit it frankly, and try another. But by all means, try something.”

Franklin D. Roosevelt

“To be nobody but yourself in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting.”

e. e. cummings

“I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work.”

Thomas Edison

“Ambition is enthusiasm with a purpose.”

Frank Tyger

“Intelligence without ambition is a bird without wings.”

Salvador Dali

“There is a loftier ambition than merely to stand high in the world. It is to stoop down and lift mankind a little higher.”

Henry van Dyke

“What makes a river so restful to people is that it doesn't have any doubt - it is sure to get where it is going, and it doesn't want to go anywhere else.”

Hal Boyle
