“In Asia we face an ambitious and aggressive China, but we have the will and we have the strength to help our Asian friends resist that ambition. Sometimes our folks get a little impatient. Sometimes they rattle their rockets some, and they bluff about their bombs. But we are not about to send American boys 9 or 10,000 miles away from home to do what Asian boys ought to be doing for themselves.” LittlesSometimesHelpingHomeFacesBoysOughtAmbitionFolksChinaMilesBombsAggressiveAmbitiousAsiaAsianRocketsImpatientMiles AwayAway From HomeBluffs Author:Lyndon B.

“Ambition is frequently the only refuge which life has left to the denied or mortified affections. We chide at the grasping eye, the daring wing, the soul that seems to thirst for sovereignty only, and know not that the flight of this ambitious bird has been from a bosom or home that is filled with ashes.” KnowsHas BeensSoulHomeSeemsEyeLeftAmbitionBirdFilledWingsAffectionFlightDeniedDaringAmbitiousAshesRefugeThirstSovereigntyBosomsGrasping Book:Egeria: Or Voices of Thought and Counsel, for the Woods and Wayside Source: Egeria: Or Voices of Thought and Counsel, for the Woods and Wayside
“You want a woman who, if needed, will be the CEO of the home. In essence, you want a woman who understands the difference between ambition and busyness. You also want a woman who understands that submission is strength, not weakness. Meaning, she understands the importance of your leadership but she is also strong enough not to allow you to run over her.” IfsWantEnoughHomeRunningStrongDifferencesNeededAmbitionWeaknessEssenceImportanceCeoSubmissionStrong Enough Author:Tony Gaskins
“Knowing how you actually want to feel is the most potent form of clarity that you can have. Generating those feelings is the most powerfully creative thing you can do with your life. And not only do we have to put our feelings at the heart of our ambitions, we have to pursue our desires in a way that is life-affirming, rather than soul-depleting. Rigid goal-chasing is burning us out. Soul-anchored intentions are the way to get home.” WayWantFeelsHeartSoulFeelingsHomeFormDesireGoalCan DoCreativeKnowingAmbitionIntentionPursueClarityBurningMost PowerfulChasingAffirmingLife Affirming Author:Danielle LaPorte
