A man can no more diminish God's glory by refusing to worship Him than a lunatic can put out the sun by scribbling the word, 'darkness' on the walls of his cell.
C. S. Lewis

A man's most glorious actions will at last be found to be but glorious sins, if he hath made himself, and not the glory of God, the end of those actions.
Thomas Brooks

A Victory without danger is a triumph without glory.
Pierre Corneille

A woman's greatest glory is to be little talked about by men, whether for good or ill.
Pericles

Acting is half shame, half glory. Shame at exhibiting yourself, glory when you can forget yourself.
John Gielgud

'Age' is the acceptance of a term of years. But maturity is the glory of years.
Martha Graham

America does not fight for land, glory or riches.
Virginia Foxx

Americans, particularly after World War II, tended to romanticize war because in World War II our cause was the cause of humanity, and our soldiers brought home glory and victory, and thank God that they did. But it led us to romanticize it to some extent.
Neil Sheehan

An affair wants to spill, to share its glory with the world. No act is so private it does not seek applause.
John Updike

An insatiable appetite for glory leads to sacrifice and death, but innate instinct leads to self-preservation and life.
Jose Marti

And say my glory was I had such friends.
William Butler Yeats

And then we've got Blades of Glory, and we've got Brothers Solomon, and I've got a script in development with this guy Chuck Martin who used to write on Arrested, and, you know, we have a few things in various stages of development.
Will Arnett

Any acceleration constitutes progress, Miss Glory. Nature had no understanding of the modern rate of work. From a technical standpoint the whole of childhood is pure nonsense. Simply wasted time. An untenable waste of time.
Karel Capek

At an expense trifling indeed, compared to what she frequently spends upon unprofitable contests, she might place the moral world on a new foundation, and to rise the pinnacle of moral glory.
John Strachan

Better pass boldly into that other world, in the full glory of some passion, than fade and wither dismally with age.
James Joyce

Born and educated in this country, I glory in the name of Briton.
George III

But the age of chivalry is gone. That of sophisters, economists, and calculators has succeeded; and the glory of Europe is extinguished forever.
Edmund Burke

But the Wisdom of God, which is His only-begotten Son, being in all respects incapable of change or alteration, and every good quality in Him being essential, and such as cannot be changed and converted, His glory is therefore declared to be pure and sincere.
Origen

By common consent gray hairs are a crown of glory; the only object of respect that can never excite envy.
George Bancroft

By reading the scriptures I am so renewed that all nature seems renewed around me and with me. The sky seems to be a pure, a cooler blue, the trees a deeper green. The whole world is charged with the glory of God and I feel fire and music under my feet.
Thomas Merton
