If poverty defines greatness, then become the poorest person on earth, in terms of weakness and bigotry. And if wealth defines glory, then become the wealthiest person on earth, in terms of courage, confidence and reasoning.

The Glory Of God Is The Eternal Heartbeat Of God

To Be Filled With The Knowledge Of God's Glory Is To Be As The Water Cover The Sea

God's relationship with man does not work in a way in which man stumbles and then God has to drop what he is doing in order to lift him up; rather, man stumbles so that God can lift him up. Hence it is utterly impossible to truly diminish his glory.

All glory is fleeting.

Glories, like glow-worms, afar off shine bright, But looked to near, have neither heat nor light.

The desire of glory is the last infirmity cast off even by the wise.

The nearest way to glory-a short cut, as it were-is to strive to be what you wish to be thought to be.

Avoid shame, but do not seek glory,-nothing so expensive as glory.

Glory is like a circle in the water, Which never ceaseth to enlarge itself Till by broad spreading it disperse to naught.

One crowded hour of glorious life Is worth an age without a name.

Glory ought to be the consequence, not the motive of our actions.

The shortest way to arrive at glory would be to do that for conscience which we do for glory.

Glory and repose are things that cannot possibly inhabit in one and the same place.

To the ashes of the dead glory comes too late.

Do we want laurels for ourselves most, Or most that no one else shall have any?

Glory is largely a theatrical concept. There is no striving for glory without a vivid awareness of an audience.

Humility must always be the portion of any man who receives acclaim earned in the blood of his followers and the sacrifices of his friends.

We are all motivated by a keen desire for praise, and the better a man is, the more he is inspired by glory. The very philosophers themselves, even in those books which they write on contempt of glory, inscribe their names.

The paths of glory lead but to the grave.
