Sometimes you have to be a bitch to get things done.

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

You are ambitious, which, within reasonable bounds, does good rather than harm.

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.

You're only as much as you settle for. If they settle for being somebody's dishwasher that's their own f***ing problem. If you don't settle for that and you keep fighting it, you know, you'll end up anything you want to be.

Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference.
