"It is a
good idea to be
ambitious, to have goals, to
want to be good at what you do, but it is a
terrible mistake to let drive and ambition get in the way of treating
people with kindness and decency. The point is no that they will then be
nice to you. It is that you will feel better about yourself."

"The
failure of
women to produce
genius of the first
rank in most of the
supreme forms of
human
effort has
been used to block
the way of all women
of
talent and
ambition for
intellectual
achievement in a
manner that would be
amusingly absurd
were it not so
monstrously unjust
and socially
harmful."
[ANNA GARLIN
SPENCER] |

"To endure is
greater
than to dare; to tire out hostile fortune; to be daunted by no
difficulty; to keep heart when all have lost it; to go through intrigue
spotless; to forego even ambition when the end is gained--who can say
this is not greatness?"
[WILLIAM MAKEPEACE THACKERY] |

"Keep away from people
who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the
really great make you become
great."
