Outline
• aspire:
      1. 1. affecto, 1: to a. to royal power, regnum a., Liv.: Ov.: the honour to which he a.d, honor quem affectabat, Suet.
      2. 2. pĕto, īvi, ītum, 3: to a. to glory, gloriam p., Sall.: to a. to supremacy in eloquence, eloquentiae principatum p., Cic.
      3. 3. specto, 1: to a. high, alte spectare, Cic.: the eloquence to which I a., ea eloquentia quam specto, Cic.: I have always a.d to being connected with you as closely as possible, spectavi semper ut tibi possem quam maxime esse conjunctus, Cic.
      4. 4. spīro, 1: to a. to lofty things, altum s., Stat.: to a. to greater things, majora s, Curt. Phr.: Metellus warned Marius not to a. beyond his condition, Metellus Marium monebat ne super fortunam animum gereret, Sall.: v. to strive after.--Note. The verb aspīro (ads.) appears sometimes to be used in the sense of to aspire, esp. after negative or virtually negative sentences: as, in Virg. 12, 352: "nec equis aspirat Achillis," or in Cic. Brut. 21: "ex bellica laude aspirare ad Africanum nemo potest:" but the meaning of the expression seems rather to be "(not) to be able to get near enough to breathe upon:" v. to approach.
