Excerpt from Our Standard Bearer: Life Sketches and Speeches of Gen. Clinton B. FiskOn that lonesome backwoods farm in Michigan when he was a little fellow without one fortunate feature in his outlook, he deter mined to get up and get on. Some people call this ambition, but its right name is aspiration. Ambition is a Mephistopheles that points downward with furtive, scowling face, but Aspiration is a heavenly maid with radiant, loving, indomitable gaze, that lifts her beckoning hand toward stars and sun. To help toward utmost evolution what God has involuted in hand, head and heart, to react on our environ ment up to the last limit of our power, and always with good will to men, this shall doubtless be our grandest way of glorifying God in every world to which He sends us.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
