To be remembered in history one must make a lasting impression.

The quote appears in the movie The Emperor's Club. A teacher has a boy read from a plaque:
"'I am Shutruk-Nahunte, King of Anshand and Susa, Soverign of the land of Elam by the command of Inshushinak. I destroyed Sippar, took the stele of Niran-sin, and brought it back to Elam, where I erected it as an offering to my god, Inshushinak.'
-- Shutruk-Nahunte 1158 B.C."

No one remembers Shutruk-Nahunte, although he seems to have had a lot of ambition and conquered a civilization.

What do you mean by great ambition without contribution is without significance?

You see, ambitions, however great, are essentially daydreams about, for example, being the president or extremely successful. They're only important if you act on them and try to succeed, which in that case, would turn that ambition into a plan on how to live your successful life(or career). Here's a question for you: would you think that ambitions were significant if you had always wanted to be a doctor and ended up as a trash collector???

Intelligence without ambition is like bird without wings?

A bird without wings exists, but it never flies anywhere. Similarly, intelligence produces great ideas, but without the driving force of ambition (a willingness to do the work to turn a concept into reality) those ideas usually never end up 'taking off' either.This expression is an example of a metaphor: it directly compares two things (intelligence and birds) to make a point. If it had said instead, "Intelligence without ambition is like a bird without wings," it would have been a simile, an indirect comparison of the two ideas.
