Summary

This quote suggests that individuals who are easily satisfied and content with their current state are often lacking in strength of character or ambition. They may lack the drive to push themselves out of their comfort zones or strive for personal improvement and growth. In contrast, those who possess strength and resilience are often hungry for more in life, pushing themselves to achieve new successes and overcome challenges. Therefore, the quote implies that complacency can lead to a lack of inner strength or drive.
