"I believe this incessant inward prompting, call it whatever you will - this something which prompts men and women to their goal, is a universal expression in us which is pushing us forever forward. It is a part of the great cosmic plan of creation. We do not create this urge, we do not manufacture it." - O.S. Marden

"Ambition is the spur that makes man struggle with destiny: It is heaven’s own incentive to make purpose great, and achievement greater." - O.S. Marden
Excerpt: Ambition
"Multitudes of people, like an unmagnetized needle, lie motionless, unresponsive to any stimulus until they are touched by that mysterious force we call ambition.
Where does this overmastering impulse come from which pushes human beings on, each to his individual goal? Where is the source of our purpose, and how and when does it gain entrance into our lives?
How few of us ever stop to think what ambition really means, its cause, or significance! Yet, if we could explain it, we could explain the mystery of the universe.
The instinctive impulse to keep pushing on and up is the most curious and the most interesting thing in human life. It exists in every normal human being, and is just as pronounced and as real as the instinct of self-preservation."
