Glory Quotes
-
Men say their pinnacles point to heaven. Why, so does every tree that buds, and every bird that rises as it sings. Men say their aisles are good for worship. Why, so is every mountain glen and rough sea-shore. But this they have of distinct and indisputable glory,--that their mighty walls were never raised, and never shall be, but by men who love and aid each other in their weakness.
John Ruskin

Great God, what do I see and hear!
The end of things created!

The trumpet sounds; the graves restore,
The dead which they contained before;
Prepare, my soul, to meet Him!
Martin Luther

Alfred Lord Tennyson
-
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.

Helen Keller

Imagine hidden in a simpler exterior a secret receptacle wherein the most precious treasure is deposited - there is a spring which has to be pressed, but the spring is hidden, and the pressure must have a certain strength, so that an accidental pressure would not be sufficient. So likewise is the hope of eternity hidden in man's inmost parts, and affliction is the pressure. When it presses the hidden spring, and strongly enough, then the contents appear in all their glory.
Soren Kierkegaard
