"Pride went before, ambition follows him...." - Quote by William Shakespeare

“As chaste as unsunned snow.”

“A blind man can't forget the eyesight he lost, show me any beautiful girl. How can her beauty not remind me of the one whose beauty surpasses hers?”

“For precious friends hid in death's dateless night.”

“To be proud of knowledge is to be blind with light.”

“A really great people, proud and high spirited, would face all the disasters of war rather than purchase that base prosperity which is bought at the price of national honor.”

“I call myself a labourer because I take pride in calling myself a spinner, weaver, farmer and scavenger.”

“I thought I would be a guy on the radio.”

“The desire to create continually is vulgar and betrays jealousy, envy, ambition. If one is something one really does not need to make anything --and one nonetheless does very much. There exists above the ''productive'' man a yet higher species.”

“This fulfils my ambition. I still have my father's robe as Chancellor. I shall be proud to serve you in this splendid office.”
