A mind that is ambitious, seeking power, does not know love, and it will never be compassionate
Ambition breeds mediocrity of mind and heart; ambition is superficial, for it is everlastingly seeking a result
Ambition breeds mediocrity, for ambition is the fulfillment of the self through action, through the group, through idea
Ambition to fulfil, or to become something, has always within it the seed of frustration, fear and sorrow
An ambitious man can never know peace; ambition must cease entirely, and only then there will be peace
An ambitious man is not a peaceful man, though he may talk of peace and brotherhood
If you are ambitious, seeking power, or clinging to a position, which in one form or another is what most people are doing, you cannot live fully, because you would everlastingly be in conflict, both with others and with yourself
The ambitious man is cruel, ruthless and therefore he has no love, no sympathy
There is no difference, except in words, between the man who meditates and practices a discipline in order to attain the other shore, and the man who works hard to fulfil his wordily ambition
You are on this earth to live life fully, happily, with your whole being, free of ambition, greed and fear. If you are greedy or ambitious, you cannot live fully, because greed and ambition dissipate energy
