A BURNING DESIRE TO BE, AND TO DO is the starting point from which the dreamer must take off. Dreams are not born of indifference, laziness, or lack of ambition.
Inspiration and work ethic - they ride right next to each other.
Ambition beats genius 99% of the time
Desire is transformed into drive when a dream creates a passion for action
Any crusade requires optimism and the ambition to aim high
Though you may have known clever men who were indolent, you never knew a great man who was so; and when I hear a young man spoken of as giving promise of great genius, the first question I ask about him always is, Does he work?
Passion is the beginning of success
Greatness comes to those who develop a burning desire to achieve high goals.
Ambition is to the mind what the cap is to the falcon; it blinds us first, and then compels us to tower by reason of our blindness.
I'll never stop working. I want to die in the saddle. A day is wasted for me if I haven't done something even mildly creative.
