Ambition Quote by Betty Boothroyd
“My dreams of taking the West End by storm as a dancer flickered but then faded; my father's ambition to see me in a steady office job was tried and abandoned. But I had won a national speaking award, had stood for election to the local council, had begun to travel and took a job working for the Labour Party.”
![“My desire to get here [Parliament] was like miners'coal dust, it was under my fingers and I couldn't scrub it out.” quote by Betty Boothroyd](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/429/betty-boothroyd-24761_coal_my-desire-to-get-here-parliament-was-lik_1268461.jpg)
