Glory Quotes
-
Glory never arrives through the front door. She sneaks in uninvited round the back or through an upstairs window while you are sleeping.
Stephen Fry
-
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
-
Her own hair was a glory of copper fire that morning, shining like a whisky still, long and loose in gentle flames down her back.
Elizabeth Wein
-
My people must be tried in all things, that they may be prepared to receive the glory that I have for them.
Brigham Young
-
Glory be to God for dappled things.
Gerard Manley Hopkins
-
But the real glory of science is that we can find a way of thinking such that the law is evident.
Richard Feynman
-
Every song falls short of the glory of what a song could be. That's why the urge is there to start again and yet again. Often it's the fault of rhyme. I've discovered a hundred times that there just aren't enough rhymes to say what I wanted to say, so I said something else instead. Sometimes it was a better thing, but the thing I meant to say went unsaid. So there's an opening for another song.
Robert Hunter
Grateful Dead
-
We may thank God that we can feel pain and know sadness, for these are the human sentiments that constitute our glory as well as our grief.
Eugene Kennedy
-
Though nothing can bring back the hour
Of splendour in the grass, of glory in the flower.
William Wordsworth
-
It's a poor sort of virtue that has no roots in love. It's why you do or don't do a thing that matters most to my mind. If love of God comes first with you then you deny yourself to keep His commandments, you give away your whole life to Him and glory in what the world calls loss.
Elizabeth Goudge
-
Manhood is tested by trial, and valour climbs unterrified the rocky path and difficult ascent that leads to glory.
Silius Italicus
-
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
-
Rising glory occasions the greatest envy, as kindling fires the greatest smoke.
Edward Joseph Young
-
And long after Kings are forgotten, and their names have fallen into dust, the good deeds and the actions of the Heroes live on in glory.
Cressida Cowell
-
Make the most of every sense; glory in all the facets of pleasure and beauty which the world reveals to you...
Helen Keller
-
Any day, any minute we bless God for our being or for anything, for food, for sunlight, we do and are what we were meant for, madefor--things that give and mean to give God glory.
Gerard Manley Hopkins
-
The evil times had come of eking out, of making do. At least, my husband seemed to regard the times we had arrived at as evil, but that was because he was in the unfortunate position of having a past to compare them with. I, who had practically no past, and whose family had never fallen from glory for the reason that it had had no glory to fall from, thought the times wholly delightful; and anyhow I rather liked camphor.
Elizabeth von Arnim
-
The excellence and inspiration of truth is in the pursuit, not in the mere having of it. The pursuit of all truth is a kind of gymnastics; a man swings from one truth with higher strength to gain another. The continual glory is the possibility opening before us.
Edwin Hubbell Chapin
-
Paul taught that religions evolved because man did not honor the true God. Because of rebellion, they "exchanged the glory of the incorruptible God for an image in the form of the corruptible man and birds and four-footed animals and crawling creatures." One characteristic of idolatry is that it always confuses the creature with the creator.
Erwin W. Lutzer
-
Pride causes us to use our gifts as though they came from ourselves, not benefits received from God, and to usurp our benefactor's glory.
Bernard of Clairvaux
-
If you were to gather all the glory, enjoyment, pleasure and happiness of the world and put it all together, it would not approach one tiny fraction of the bliss
that you experience upon realizing the nature of mind.
Nyoshul Khenpo Rinpoche
-
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
