> It's a shame people lose sight of the ground beneath their feet when reaching to the sky
Shakespeare:
> 'tis a common proof
\ That lowliness is young ambition's ladder,
\ Whereto the climber-upward turns his face;
\ But when he once attains the upmost round,
\ He then unto the ladder turns his back,
\ Looks in the clouds, scorning the base degrees
\ By which he did ascend.
(Brutus, of Caesar, Julius Caesar)
