Disappointment Ambition Sour

More From Benjamin Franklin

Ambition has its disappointments to sour us, but never the good fortune to satisfy us. its appetite grows keener by indulgence and all we can gratify it with at present serves but the more to inflame its insatiable desires.
Disappointment Ambition Desire
I should love to satisfy all, if i possibly can; but in trying to satisfy all, i may be able to satisfy none. i have, therefore, arrived at the conclusion that the best course is to satisfy one’s own conscience and leave the world to form its own judgment, favorable or otherwise.
Spiritual Trying World
We tried it again and it didn't work out. sour milk is always sour milk. when something goes bad it stays bad.you don't put sour milk in the refrigerator one day,and take it out the next and expect it to taste sweet.
Sweet Sour Milk Work Out
A wise man is cured of ambition by ambition itself; his aim is so exalted that riches, office, fortune and favour cannot satisfy him.
Life Wise Ambition
I have an ambition to live 300 years. i will not live 300 years. maybe i will live one year more. but i have the ambition. why you will not have ambition? why? have the greatest ambition possible. you want to be immortal? fight to be immortal. do it. you want to make the most fantastic art or movie? try. if you fail, is not important. we need to try.
Art Ambition Fighting
Try and write straight english; never using slang except in dialogue and then only when unavoidable. because all slang goes sour in a short time. i only use swear words, for example, that have lasted at least a thousand years for fear of getting stuff that will be simply timely and then go sour.
