AMBITION

野心
If there is a anything worse than social climbing in the world it is ecclesiastical climbing in the church.

如果真有甚麼比社會爭權奪利還糟糕的，那就是教會裡頭的爭權奪利。
The man who desires honour does not deserve it.

渴望得著尊榮的人，不配得到尊榮。
Ambition, is like the grave, is never full.

Thomas Adams

野心如同墳場，永遠不會填滿。
Ambition is a gilded misery, a secret posion, a hidden plague, the engineer of deceit, the mother of hypocrisy, the parent of envy, the original vices, the moth of holiness and blinder of hearts, turning medicines into maladies and remedies into diseases,  High seats are never but uneasy and crowns are always stuffed with thorns.

Thomas Brooks

野心是鍍金的厄運、暗下的毒藥、隱藏的瘟疫、欺騙的動力、假冒為善的母親、嫉妒的雙親、最初的邪惡、聖潔的蛀蟲、良心的蒙蔽，能使良藥成為穿腸毒。高位永遠難以坐穩，冠冕常有刺人荊棘。
When we seek honours we depart from Jesus.

Hugh of St. Victor 1096 - 1141

當我們尋求尊榮時，我們就遠離耶穌了。

笏哥 - 法哲學家兼神學家，亞伯拉德之對敵，神秘主義者，強調創造、救贖及認識上帝。
Ambition is but avarice on stilts.

W. S. Landor

野心只是踩在高蹺上的貪婪。
You may get to the very top of the ladder, and then find it has not been leaning against the right wall.

A. Raine

當你登上梯子的最頂端時，你或許會發現這梯子居然懸空，沒有依靠在穩固的牆上。
Ambition without knowledge is like a boat on dry land.

Mark Lee

志大才疏，有如路上行舟。
