A strength to harm is perilous in the hand of an ambitious head.

However combinations or associations of the above description may now and then answer popular ends, they are likely, in the course of time and things, to become potent engines, by which cunning, ambitious, and unprincipled men will be enabled to subvert the power of the people, and to usurp for themselves the reins of government; destroying afterwards the very engines, which have lifted them to unjust dominion.

I wasn't satisfied just earning a good living. I was looking to make a statement.

I'm ambitious. But if I weren't as talented as I am ambitious, I would be a gross monstrosity.

I'm tough, I'm ambitious, and I know exactly what I want. If that makes me a bitch, okay.

Great ambition is the passion of a great character. Those endowed with it may perform very good or bad acts. All depends on the principles which direct them.
