It is ambition, but a generous ambition, that seeks to improve one's status without harm to others.
Ambición es, pero ambiciòn generosa, la del que pretende mejorar su estado sin perjuicio de tercero.

More quotes by Miguel de Cervantes
There's not the least thing can be said or done, but people will talk and find fault.
Fear is sharp-sighted, and can see things underground, and much more in the skies.
Take care, Your Worship, those things over there are not giants but windmills.
