Young Ambition's Ladder--Julius Caesar quote

[lariadna]

>From II.i
Brutus:....
... But 'tis a common proof
That lowliness is young ambition's ladder,
Whereto the climber upward turns his face;
But when he once attains the upmost round,
He then unto the ladder turns his back,
Looks in the clouds, scorning the base degrees
By which he did ascend...

I liked this image.

Two quotes attributed to Martin Luther King,
staircases, though, not ladders
(Happy Birthday, Jan 15):

'You don't have to see the whole staircase, just
take the first step.'

'I do not believe in the cynical notion that nation
after nation must spiral down the militaristic
stairwell into the hell of mutually assured thermo-nuclear
destruction.'
