Quote by Pearl Bailey, Talking to Myself

Children, you must remember something. A man without ambition is dead. A man with ambition but no love is dead. A man with ambition and love for his blessings here on earth is ever so alive.

Children, you must remember something. A man without ambitio

Summary

This quote emphasizes the importance of both ambition and love in a person's life. It suggests that simply having ambition alone is not enough; one must also have love for the things they possess and appreciate the blessings in their life. Without love, a person's ambition becomes meaningless and can lead to an unfulfilling existence. Only when one combines their ambition with gratitude and affection for their blessings can they truly feel alive and content.
