And pour contempt on all my pride.

Acquaintance; companion;
One dear brilliant woman;

All by their youth undone,
All, all, by that inhuman
Bitter glory wrecked.

We had set out in a rain of flowers to seek the death of heroes. The war was our dream of greatness, power and glory.

I shall not remind you, Citizen-Directors, of all I have done for the triumph of liberty, the prosperity of St. Domingo, the glory of the French Republic; nor will I protest to you my attachment to our mother country, to my duties; my respect to the constitution, to the laws of the Republic, and my submission to the government.

Vanity is so anchored in the heart of man that a soldier, a soldier's servant, a cook, a porter brags and wishes to have his admirers. Even philosophers wish for them. Those who write against vanity want to have the glory of having written well; and those who read it desire the glory of having read it. I who write this have perhaps this desire, and perhaps those who will read it.
Blaise Pascal
-

William Wilberforce
-
Those who write against vanity want the glory of having written well, and their readers the glory of reading well, and I who write this have the same desire, as perhaps those who read this have also.
Blaise Pascal
-
The period of youth is the glory of nature, and the healthful development of all the resources of strength deposited in our nature is the glory of youth.
