Glory Quotes
-
The art of art, the glory of expression, is simplicity. Nothing is better than simplicity, and the sunlight of letters is simplicity. Nothing is better than simplicity-nothing can make up for excess, or for the lack of definiteness.
Walt Whitman
-
Though nothing can bring back the hour
Of splendour in the grass, of glory in the flower.
William Wordsworth
-
Because I want to get a lot done, I can sometimes do that in the flesh. If I don't rest in the Lord, and enjoy him as I should, my action doesn't spring from my identity and enjoyment of Christ. When that happens, I end up getting the glory rather than Jesus.
Francis Chan
-
Well, every man has a religion; has something in heaven or earth which he will give up everything else for - something which absorbs him - which may be regarded by others as being useless - yet it is his dream, it is his lodestar, it is his master. That, whatever it is, seized upon me, made me its servant, slave - induced me to set aside the other ambitions a trail of glory in the heavens, which I followed, followed with a full heart. ...When once I am convinced, I never let go.
Walt Whitman
-
If God gave it to me," we say "it's mine. I can do what I want with it." No. The truth is that it is ours to thank Him for and ours to offer back to Him, ours to relinquish, ours to lose, ours to let go of - if we want to find our true selves, if we want real Life, if our hearts are set on glory.
Elisabeth Elliot
-
There is a certain period of the soul-culture when it begins to interfere with some of characters of typical beauty belonging to the bodily frame, the stirring of the intellect wearing down the flesh, and the moral enthusiasm burning its way out to heaven, through the emaciation of the earthen vessel; and there is, in this indication of subduing the mortal by the immortal part, an ideal glory of perhaps a purer and higher range than that of the more perfect material form. We conceive, I think, more nobly of the weak presence of Paul than of, the fair and ruddy countenance of David.
John Ruskin
-
To God the Father, God the Son, And God the Spirit, Three in One, Be honour, praise, and glory given By all on earth, and all in heaven.
Isaac Watts
-
Can you conceive of anything that so represents the glory, and truth, and marvelousness of God's nature as the idea of peace?
Edwin Hubbell Chapin
-
Manhood is tested by trial, and valour climbs unterrified the rocky path and difficult ascent that leads to glory.
Silius Italicus
-
It may well be that all suffering, even the prickles in the canefields, are part of the glory of man.
Simone Schwarz-Bart
-
I hate it when they say, He gave his life for his country. They don`t die for the honor and glory of their country. We kill them.
Gene La Rocque
-
Glory be to God for dappled things.
Gerard Manley Hopkins
