Quotation by Shakespeare
But 'tis a common proof
That lowliness is young ambition's ladder,
Whereto the climber-upward turns his face;

He then unto the ladder turns his back,
Looks in the clouds, scorning the base degrees
By which he did ascend.

Looks in the clouds, scorning the base degrees

William Shakespeare (1564–1616), British poet. Julius Caesar (II, i).
