Ambition produces certain industrial benefits, but in its wake there is the darkening of the mind.
Krishnamurti in Bombay 1953, Talk 10
Ambition is a form of power, the desire for power over oneself and others, the power to do something better than anybody else. In ambition is a sense of comparison, and so the ambitious man is not a creative man, is never a happy man; in himself he is discontented.
Krishnamurti at Rajghat 1954, Talk 8
The ambitious man is afraid to be what he is.
Krishnamurti, Life Ahead Read
A mind that is not concerned with itself, that is free of ambition, a mind that not caught up in its own desires or driven by its own pursuit of success – such a mind is not shallow and it flowers in goodness.
Krishnamurti, Think on These Things Read
Society is based on ambition and conflict, and almost everyone accepts this fact as inevitable.
Krishnamurti, Commentaries on Living 2 Read
It is good to hide your brilliance under a bushel, to be anonymous, to love what you are doing and not to show off.
Krishnamurti, Think on These Things Read
One can live in this world anonymously, completely unknown, without being famous, ambitious, cruel.
Krishnamurti, Think on These Things Read
Love is anonymous. I may love my wife and my children, but the quality of that love is anonymous. Like the sunset, love is neither yours nor mine.
Krishnamurti in New Delhi 1960, Talk 8
The self can never be anonymous; it may put on a new robe, assume a different name, but identity is its very substance. This identifying process prevents the awareness of its own nature.
Krishnamurti, Commentaries on Living 1
Anonymity is humility.
