Ambition is not a vice of little people.

Summary

This quote suggests that ambition should not be seen as a negative trait, especially when it is present in individuals who might be considered "little people" or of lower status. It challenges the idea that ambition is only beneficial or acceptable for those in positions of power or privilege. Instead, it asserts that ambition can be present in anyone, regardless of their social standing, and should be recognized and encouraged as a driving force for personal growth, success, and fulfillment.
