To be merely a rich woman in the right set did not come within measurable distance of her ambition's apex, and she determined to gratify her passionate self-love by becoming a personality.
"Don't you feel 'the rushing torrent of ambition's flood sweeping away the barriers' and what else did the Dean say?" "Log jam," Kit put in. "That's what he meant, log jam of laziness. Have you discovered all these shelves in your wardrobe? I'd take off those doors and hang lovely velvety curtains in front and make a bookcase out of it."
"At first, he, busy, plodding poor, Earned, saved, and daily swelled his store; But soon Ambition's summits rose, And Avarice dug his mine of woes."
For she's that fiery dragon, a beautiful woman with brains which Helen of Troy hadn't, combustible as we know her to have been: but brains are bombshells in comparison with your old-fashioned pine-brands for kindling men and cities. Ambition's the husband of Adiante Adister, and all who come nigh her are steps to her aim.

"''tis a common proof, That lowliness is young Ambition's ladder. "I have also observed that you have, of late, been much to Lord Dawton's; I have even heard that you have been twice closeted with him.
The commander of the yacht pointed out the rock, which is traditionally said to be the one, on which Napoleon has been represented his arms folded watching intently the ocean and ambition's votary gleaning his moral from the stormy waves below.
I will not bring up mouldy documents from our imperial archives to prove that I have a right to lands which for hundreds of years have been the property of another race; nor will I, for mad ambition's sake, spill one drop of honest Austrian blood." "And so will Austria lose her birthright," returned Joseph angrily.
