“I know of nothing which I would choose to have as the subject of my ambition for life than to be kept faithful to my God till death, still to be a soul winner, still to be a true herald of the cross, and testify the name of Jesus to the last hour. It is only such who in the ministry shall be saved.” 

- Charles Spurgeon

“True ambition is not what we thought it was. True ambition is the profound desire to live usefully and walk humbly under the grace of God.” 

- Bill Wilson

“All ambitions are lawful except those that climb upward on the miseries or credulities of mankind.” – Henry Ward Beecher
