Ambition is our idol, on whose wings
Great minds are carried only to extreme;
To be sublimely great, or to be nothing.
To reign is worth ambition, though in hell:
Better to reign in hell, than serve in heaven.
Rather than be less
Cared not to be at all.
Lowliness is young
ambition's ladder,
Whereto the climber upward turns his face;
But when he once attains the upmost round,
He then unto the ladder turns his back,
Looks in the clouds, scorning the base degrees
By which he did ascend.
