A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
抱负
Ambition
One who does great deeds out of a desire for glory is acting from impure motives, but one who seeks glory as an incentive to the doing of good deeds is being nobly motivated.
人因贪得荣耀而行大事、乃是出于污秽的心。惟有求荣耀作善事的、乃是出于清洁的心。
I'm going to let love lead the way, always. And I was born with this blind - blind ambition, and it's kind of gotten me here to this point. And I think that I'll stick to it.
我要让爱永远引领我。我生来就有这种盲目的野心，这让我走到了这一步。我想我会坚持下去。
To be, the will to power must increase with each fulfilment, making the fulfilment only a step to a further one. The vaster the power gained the vaster the appetite for more.

I do believe there are leaders who are like lightning and they come along and they lead. The Lincolns of the world, the Alexander the Greats, they do exist. They have existed.

I would hate to be a new artist or writer in town today. But somehow the cream continues to rise. If there's one who's great, he just jumps out of the pack like you can't believe.
我不愿意在今天成为一个新的艺术家或作家。但不知何故，奶油还在继续上升。如果有一个人很棒，他就会跳出来，就像你无法相信的那样。
Do not try to push your way through to the front ranks of your profession; do not run after distinctions and rewards; but do your utmost to find an entry into the world of beauty.
不要试图挤到你职业的前列;不要追求卓越和奖励;但是尽你最大的努力去寻找进入美的世界的入口。
I knew it was going to be enormous because of the number of people who bought the books, but, to be honest, I never thought it would be bigger than Bond. Never in a million years.

Illustrious Cook, Columbus of our shore, To whom was left this unknown world t’explore, Its untraced bounds on faithful chart to mark, And leave a light where all before was dark.

The necessity to constantly turn in an excellent performance, to be absolutely wedded to this dedication and this ideal means that as a child you're going to pay for it personally.

KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
The struggle is always worthwhile, if the end be worthwhile and the means honorable; foreknowledge of defeat is not sufficient reason to withdraw from the contest.
