a301: A slave has but one master; the ambitious man has as many masters as there are persons whose aid may contribute to the advancement of his fortune.
- La Bruyere.
a302: Our natures are like oil; compound as with anything,
Yet will we strive to swim at the ton.
- Beaumont and Fletcher.

And I hold ambition of so airy and light a quality, that it is but a shadow's shadow.
- Shakespreare.
