Thomas Wentworth, 1st Earl of Strafford Zitate

Ambition devours gold and drinks blood and climbs so high by other men's heads, that at the length in the fall, it breaks its own neck; therefore, it is better to live in humble content than in high care and trouble.

Deutsche Übersetzung

Ehrgeiz verschlingt Gold und trinkt Blut und klettert an den Köpfen anderer Männer so hoch, dass es sich im Herbst nach und nach den Hals bricht; Daher ist es besser, in bescheidenen Inhalten zu leben als in hoher Sorge und Mühe.
