Where there are large powers with little ambition… nature may be said to have fallen short of her purposes.
Without ambition one starts nothing. Without work one finishes nothing. The prize will not be sent to you. You have to win it. The man who knows how will always have a job.

The man who tries methods, ignoring principles, is sure to have trouble.
