There was a time when some of the High Church leaders were so far alarmed by Roman aggressiveness, as to think that union among Protestants should be purchased even at what they deemed a sacrifice, and when Sancroft, Ken, and Lake moved for a bill of comprehension, and Beveridge spoke warmly in favour of it.
I had acquired aggressiveness: an aggressiveness, however, differing in quality from the feeling I once would have had, for this arose from resentment, not from belief. It was impossible to live in the atmosphere created by the men with whom I associated especially at such a time without imbibing something of the emotions animating them, even though I had been free from these emotions myself.
Vanity? no, it was not his vanity that maddened me; to me vanity is rarely displeasing, sometimes it is singularly attractive; but by a certain insistence and aggressiveness in the details of life he allowed me to feel that I was only a means for the moment, a serviceable thing enough, but one that would be very soon discarded and passed over. This was intolerable. I broke up my establishment.
Though many of the persuasive kind are insincere and selfish, I believe that on the whole the taciturn and gruff are less interested in their fellows than the talkative and cordial. The persuasive person has a touch of the fighting spirit in the trait called aggressiveness. He is rarely shy or retiring.

People living in such a climate have great need for activity, both in order to secure the means of subsistence and in order to keep themselves warm.

Both men are excellent tennis players of the true English school: fine base- line drivers, but subject to defeat by any aggressive volleyer. It is a lack of aggressiveness that holds both men down, for they are excellent court coverers, fine racquet wielders, but do not rise to real heights.
Two of them married, and the third was of a quiet and retiring disposition; but in Susan he saw ability of a high order and that same courage, persistence and aggressiveness which entered into his own character, enabling him to make his way in the business world and rally from his losses and defeats.
But he had the chance to put money in her way and all he asked was that she'd 'be nice to him." "You put things very bluntly I might almost say, vulgarly, Mr. Hagan," objected Eben Tollman with a fastidious shiver and his visitor flashed his answer back in a manner of menacing aggressiveness. "It strikes you that way, does it?
"When I think of what he done for our union!" exclaimed a thick-set man, plainly a steel worker. "He's just wore himself out, fighting that crooked gang." He stared with sudden aggressiveness at me. "Haven't I seen you some-wheres?" he demanded. A denial was on my lips when the sharp, sinister strokes of a bell were heard coming nearer. "It's the ambulance," said the man on the step.
