Theme for the week 6/12 - 6/18: Ambition (cont'd).

[lessonsproject]

The desire for more and more is dangerous.....

From the song 'I Want It All' featured in the movie 'High School Musical 3':

Don't you see that bigger is better, And better is bigger, A little bit is never enough. I want it all, The fame and the fortune and more...

"Ambition drove many men to become false; to have one thought locked in the breast, another ready on the tongue." - Sallust, The War with Catiline

"It is the constant fault and inseparable evil quality of ambition, that it never looks behind it." - Seneca

"Ambition is so powerful a passion in the human breast, that however high we reach we are never satisfied." - Niccolo Machiavelli

[lessonsproject]

"To want something desperately, to be tested, to feel that life will be impossible if the object of one's desires is not achieved, is always dangerous for the soul. Some people attempt to climb Everest because, as they say, it is there; others want nothing but wealth and care little how or where they collect it; others still, with less avaricious tastes - perhaps desiring nothing more than freedom from fear - are blinded by the same personal sun that shines on all human ambition. At some time or another it burns most of us." - Bryan Forbes, International Velvet
