That's just a sample, of course. We know where ambition led Macbeth,
and Claudius in "Hamlet," and Shakespeare's unhistorical Richard III,

Let's not forget Julius Caesar:  "But Brutus says he was ambitious, and 
Brutus is an honorable man."

Hmmm.  Caesar.  Ambitious.  Killed by his best friend.

Salazar.  Ambitious.  Disappeared, never seen again.  His best friends said 
they argued and he just up and left.

Really wish I could have a look into Godric Gryffindor's Pensieve...
