It is the nature of ambition to make men liars and cheats, to hide the truth in their breasts, and show, like jugglers, another thing in their mouths, to cut all friendships and enmities to the measure of their own interest, and to make a good countenance without the help of good will.
Sallust
Ambition drove many men to become false to have one thought locked in the breast, another ready on the tongue.
ambition men thought false tongue ready
Ambition breaks the ties of blood, and forgets the obligations of gratitude.
