“The secret of getting ahead is getting started.”

Mark Twain

“In any situation, the best thing you can do is the right thing; the next best thing you can do is the wrong thing; the worst thing you can do is nothing.”

Theodore Roosevelt

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

Franklin D. Roosevelt

Henry van Dyke

“Ambition is enthusiasm with a purpose.”

Frank Tyger

“Ambition is a dream with a V8 engine.”

Elvis Presley

“Intelligence without ambition is a bird without wings.”

Salvador Dali

“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

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

Dwayne Johnson

“Life takes on meaning when you become motivated, set goals and charge after them in an unstoppable manner.”

Les Brown

“Your ambition should be to get as much life out of living as you possibly can, as much enjoyment, as much interest, as much experience, as much understanding. Not simply be what is generally called a ‘success.’”

Eleanor Roosevelt

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

William Shakespeare
