Ambition

Most people would succeed in small things if they were not troubled with great ambitions. (HENRY WORDSWORTH LONGFELLOW)
No bird soars too high, if he soars with his own wings (WILLIAM BLAKE)
And he that strives to touch the stars,
Oft stumbles at a straw. (EDMUND SPENSER)
There are two things to aim at in life: first, to get what you want; and after that, to enjoy it. Only the wisest of mankind achieve the second. (LOGAN PEARSALL SMITH)
To become what we are capable of becoming is the only end in life. (ROBERT LOUIS STEVENSON)
