About this Quote

This quote by Pearl Bailey speaks with the importance of having ambition and love in life. Without aspiration, an individual is basically dead, as they have no drive or purpose. Similarly, having ambition without love is also a kind of death, as it can cause a life of vacuum and loneliness. On the other hand, having ambition and love for one's blessings here on earth suggests being really alive. Love provides us the strength to pursue our ambitions and to appreciate the good things in life. It also assists us to remain grounded and to keep in mind that life is about more than simply achieving our goals. Eventually, aspiration and love are essential for a satisfying life.
