Keep away from those who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you believe that you too can become great.
Mark Twain
Squint your eyes and look closer. I`m not between you and your ambitions. I am a poster girl with no poster. I am thirty-two flavors and then some. And I`m beyond your peripheral vision, so you might want to turn your head. `Cuz some day you are gonna get...
Ani DiFranco
I remember getting cast in Amistad and getting this very strong feeling that I had overshot myself. It was a great shock. It made me realize that this is not a profession you can predict; that you can have all these ambitions and expectations and that the...

In 1949 we stayed with one of my friends who had a book in which people were asked to write down their secret ambitions. Ronald Reagan wrote he`d like to be president. All those years ago!
Patricia Neal
Normally, people tend to shut off their ambitions and competitive thinking because it doesn`t help them much in normal life. But in the movie business you`ve constantly got to prove yourself. So I can be a real asshole on the set sometimes.
Ben Stiller
I don`t need much money to live the way I live in Paris. I`m only 23 and I don`t have great material needs, but I do have big artistic ambitions...
Ludivine Sagnier
It reads as though one had made great dramatic decisions, but in fact one didn`t. I certainly had the drive from the beginning, but the targets and ambitions were much, much less.
Sean Connery
You have to recognize the realities of the situation and try to create new alliances or scale down the ambitions. I think we see that happening a little bit with the Bush administration.
Arlene Tolette
We cannot seek achievement for ourselves and forget about progress and prosperity for our community... Our ambitions must be broad enough to include the aspirations and needs of others, for their sakes and for our own.
Cesar Chavez
We can win it again and that is our intention. We`ve been drawn in a difficult group but if you have ambitions to win the trophy you mustn`t fear any team.
Paolo Maldini
Vietnam was a lie but at least there was a political agenda. It was the domino theory. Iraq is about nothing but George Bush`s ego laced with imperialist ambitions. And it was helped by your government.
Donald Sutherland
Ukraine will undergo a catastrophe if its political elite does not put the country`s interests above career ambitions and narrow prejudices.
Andrew Humphrey
Things will be very bad for Latin America. You only have to consider the ambitions and the doctrines of the empire, which regards this region as its backyard.
Allan Radel
The U.S. along with China, Japan, South Korea and Russia has an important role to play in containing North Korea`s nuclear ambitions and exerting all the influence we can possibly exert.
Andrew Stotz
Rise above sectional interests and private ambitions... Pass from matter to spirit. Matter is diversity; spirit is light, life and unity.
Ambrosia Prudhomme
My actions to promote peace, the mediation missions which I carried out during many conflicts, which very often occurred between brothers of the same country, are not driven by any ulterior motives or any calculations based on personal ambitions.
Amitabh Ray
It`s just like anybody else applying for the major, they`re just doing it because of their ambitions and what they really want to get done in life. It really doesn`t matter what gender you are.
Archie Berry
If you tell people your ambitions, they usually laugh at you. When I told my girlfriends when I was 12 that I was going to Hollywood, they all laughed. And here I am!
Helen Reddy
Keep away from those who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you believe that you too can become great.
