My ambition is limited to capturing something transient.

Right now, the bane of the world is just that human beings are working with limited individualistic ambition. Instead of working with ambition, if people work for a deeper vision of life for themselves and for everything around them, there is no need to scale anything down. -Sadhguru
Jaggi Vasudev
Ambition has but one reward for all:
A little power, a little transient fame,
A grave to rest in, and a fading name.William (author) Winter
The truth is a trap: you can not get it without it getting you; you cannot get the truth by capturing it, only by its capturing you.
Soren Aabye Kierkegaard
Wisdom is corrupted by ambition, even when the quality of the ambition is intellectual. For ambition, even of this quality, is but a form of self-love…
Henry Taylor
The great secret, known to internists and learned early in marriage by internist’s wives, but still hidden from the general public, is that most things get better by themselves. Most things, in fact, are better by morning. Obviously, it is a great time-saver and money-saver for the physician’s family that anxiety about disease is not handled as though it were the disease itself; there is perhaps greater willingness to accept anxiety as a natural, often transient, phenomenon. And certainly there is much less ambition to deploy the full technology of medicine as a corrective for the human condition.
