Macbeth-Blind Ambition

This blog is about the corruption seen in Macbeth caused by the absence of moral constraints. This may include any characters, not just Macbeth.

Nothing truly valuable arises from ambition or from a mere sense of duty; it stems rather from love and devotion towards men and towards objective things.” (Albert Einstein)

Our ambition should be to rule ourselves, the true kingdom for each one of us; and true progress is to know more, and be more, and to do more.”(Oscar Wilde)

“Intelligence without ambition is a bird without wings.” (Salvador Dali)

“Great ambition is the passion of a great character. Those endowed with it may perform very good or very bad acts. All depends on the principals which direct them.” (Napolean Bonaparte)



I found these quotes to relate quite well to Macbeth's actions throughout the play. Any thoughts?
