Glory

"Gloria virtutem tanquam umbra sequitur."

"True glory strikes root, and even extends itself; all false pretensions fall as do flowers, nor can anything feigned be lasting."

"Glory is largely a theatrical concept. There is no striving for glory without a vivid awareness of an audience—the knowledge that our might deeds will come to the ears of our contemporaries or "of those that are to be." We are ready to sacrifice our true, transitory self for the imaginary eternal self we are building up, by our heroic deeds, in the opinion and imagination of others."

"Not hate, but glory, made these chiefs contend; And each brave foe was in his soul a friend."

"As when the moon, refulgent lamp of night, O'er heaven's clear azure spreads her sacred light, When not a breath disturbs the deep serene, And not a cloud o'ercasts the solemn scene; Around her throne the vivid planets roll, And stars unnumbered gild the glowing pole, O'er the dark trees a yellower verdure shed, And tip with silver every mountain's head; Then shine the vales, the rocks in prospect rise, A flood of glory bursts from all the skies."

"Arise, O woman, shed light, for your light has come. The glory of Jehovah shines on you. For look! darkness will cover the earth and thick gloom the nations; But on you Jehovah will shine, and on you his glory will be seen. Nations will go to your light and kings to your shining splendor."

"Better a short life, full of deeds and glory, than a long life without substance."

"True glory is a flame lighted at the skies."

"Cineri gloria sera est."

"For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God. For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope, Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God."

"Less glory is more liberty. When the drum is silent, reason sometimes speaks."

"True glory consists in doing what deserves to be written, in writing what deserves to be read, and in so living as to make the world happier and better for our living in it."

"Alone in the darkness, standing with his back to the wall, facing overwhelming numbers. A glorious way to die, but Kaladin didn’t want glory. He’d given up on that foolish dream as a child."

"Who would be so mock'd with glory?"

"On seeing his shadow fall on such ancient rocks, he had to question himself in a different context and ask the same old question as before, "Who am I?", and the answer now came more emphatically than ever before, "No-one." But a no-one with a crown of light about his head. He would remember a verse from Pindar: "Man is a dream about a shadow. But when some splendour falls upon him from God, a glory comes to him and his life is sweet.""

"Real glory Springs from the silent conquest of ourselves; and without that the conqueror is nought but the first slave."

"We rise in glory, as we sink in pride: Where boasting ends, there dignity begins."

"I am doing my best to glorify the scamp or vagabond. I hope I shall succeed. For things are not so simple as they sometimes seem. In this present age of threats to democracy and individual liberty, probably only the scamp and the spirit of the scamp alone will save us from being lost in serially numbered units in the masses of disciplined, obedient, regimented and uniformed coolies. The scamp will be the last and most formidable enemy of dictatorships. He will be the champion of human dignity and individual freedom, and will be the last to be conquered. All modern civilization depends entirely upon him."

"Those glories come too late That on our ashes wait."

"Go where glory waits thee; But while fame elates thee, Oh! still remember me."

"Immensum gloria calcar habet."

"Nisi utile est quod facimus, stulta est gloria."

"Who pants for glory, finds but short repose; A breath revives him, or a breath o'erthrows."

"Magnum iter adscendo; sed dat mihi gloria vires."

"Sound, sound the clarion, fill the fife! To all the sensual world proclaim, One crowded hour of glorious life Is worth an age without a name."

"Some glory in their birth, some in their skill, Some in their wealth, some in their bodies' force, Some in their garments, though new-fangled ill; Some in their hawks and hounds, some in their horse; And every humor hath his adjunct pleasure, Wherein it finds a joy above the rest."
