"We often pass from love to ambition, but we hardly ever return from ambition to love."
La Rochefoucauld, Maxims (1665)

Discussion:

I found the above quote in a book I have, and I thought it was interesting to talk about love and ambition.

It seems like the most ambitious people in life are often not very loving.

Not to say that ambition is bad, at all, but I definitely thought this was an interesting observation.

If you haven’t heard of
La Rochefoucauld, you might want to check out some of his quotes and maxims…they are awesome.
