AMBITION.

This is the period of my ambition: O this blessed hour!
Full of ambition, an envious emulator of every man's good parts
Who doth ambition shun And loves to live i' the sun

Urge them while their souls Are capable of this ambition
Thoughts tending to ambition, they do plot Unlikely wonders
Ill-weaved ambition, how much art thou shrunk!.

Go forward and be choked with thy ambition!.
Choked with ambition of the meaner sort

Pride went before, ambition follows him.

These days are dangerous: Virtue is choked with foul ambition

I charge thee, fling away ambition: By that sin fell the angels
Love and meekness, lord, Become a churchman better than ambition
Force him with praises: pour in, pour in; his ambition is dry
But 't is a common proof, That lowliness is young ambition's ladder
There is tears for his love; joy for his fortune; honour for his valour; and death for his ambition iii. 2.

Thou wouldst be great; Art not without ambition, but without The illness should attend it Macbeth, i. 5.
But only Vaulting ambition, which o'erleaps itself And falls on the other
Thriftless ambition, that will ravin up Thine own life's means! .

I hold ambition of so airy and light a quality that it is but a shadow's shadow.

And shows a most pitiful ambition in the fool that uses it.

Farewell the plumed troop, and the big wars, That make ambition virtue
Ambition, The soldier's virtue, rather makes choice of loss

AMBITIOUS.—I would not be ambitious in my wish, To wish myself much better Mer. of Venice, iii. 2.

O that I were a fool! I am ambitious for a motley coat.

O'ercome with pride, ambitious past all thinking, Self-loving.

As he was valiant, I honour him: but, as he was ambitious, I slew him.

But Brutus says he was ambitious; And Brutus is an honourable man
The very substance of the ambitious is merely the shadow of a dream
I am very proud, revengeful, ambitious
