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.

For the greater a man's works for the future, the less the present can comprehend them; the harder his fight, and the rarer success.

To be sure, these great men are only the Marathon runners of history; the laurel wreath of the present touches only the brow of the dying hero.

William P. Young
-
Elisabeth, again, while she praises her, is so far from hiding the Divine glory, that she ascribes everything to God. And yet, though she acknowledges the superiority of Mary to herself and to others, she does not envy her the higher distinction, but modestly declares that she had obtained more than she deserved.
John Calvin

To unmask falsehood, and bring truth to light.
