Glory Quotes
-
The suffering and calamity are, moreover, exceptional. They befall a conspicuous person. They are themselves of some striking kind. They are also, as a rule, unexpected, and contrasted with previous happiness or glory.

Andrew Cecil Bradley
-
I do not say that there is no glory to be gained [in war]; but it is not personal glory.

G.A. Henty
-
We worship unity in trinity, and trinity in unity; neither confounding the person nor dividing the substance.

This life therefore is not righteousness, but growth in righteousness, not health, but healing, not being but becoming, not rest but exercise. We are not yet what we shall be, but we are growing toward it, the process is not yet finished, but it is going on, this is not the end, but it is the road. All does not yet gleam in glory, but all is being purified.
Martin Luther
