Ambition to say (Nietzsche)
It is my ambition to say in ten sentences what everyone else says in a whole book—what everyone else does not say in a whole book.
Friedrich Nietzsche

History consists, for the greater part, of the miseries brought upon the world by pride, ambition, avarice, revenge, lust, sedition, hypocrisy, ungoverned zeal, and all the train of disorderly appetites which shake the public with the same. . . These vices are the causes of those storms. Religion, morals, laws, prerogatives, privileges, liberties, rights of men, are the pretexts.
