Glory Quotes - page 49

There was a time when meadow, grove, and stream, The earth, and every common sight, To me did seem; Apparelled in celestial light, The glory and the freshness of a dream. (William Wordsworth)
Where is it now, the glory and the dream. View quote

Onward, then! To glory and some such nonsense. View quote
Brandon Sanderson
For glory lit, and life alive, for goals unreached and aims to strive. All men must try, the wind did see. It is the test, it is the dream. View quote
Brandon Sanderson
Loyalty doesn't seem to be in the game that much these days where players leave their clubs which made them the stars they are today either to seek personal glory or fill their pockets. But one man serves as the epitome of club loyalty. View quote

St. Augustine confesses that he himself had been formerly in a similar mistake. 'I was once,' says he, 'a Pelagian in my principles; I thought that faith towards God was not the gift of God, but that we procured it by our own powers, and that then, through the use of it, we obtain the gifts of God; I never supposed that the preventing grace of God was the proper cause of our faith, till my mind was struck in a particular manner by the apostle's argument and testimony: What hast thou that thou hast not received, and if thou hast received it, why dost thou glory as if thou hadst not received it?' In this whole business I follow the steps of Augustine. View quote

O Christ, on you the many-eyed cherubim are unable to look because of the glory of your countenance, yet out of your love you accepted spittle on your face. Remove the shame from my face, and grant me to have an unashamed face before you at the time of prayer. View quote
Isaac the Syrian
A divine life is hidden in every seed we sow for Jesus. It matters not how small the seed may be, nor in what secluded part of the vineyard it may be sown - a prayer, a word, a look, a pressure of the hand - God's almighty energy is enfolded in every seed which we sow in the Master's name and for His glory.

Abbott Eliot Kittredge
If you send men to the penitentiary for speaking their thoughts, for endeavoring to enlighten their fellows, then the penitentiary will become a place of honor, and the victim will step from it - not stained, not disgraced, but clad in robes of glory. View quote
Robert G. Ingersoll
Are angels my attendants? Then I should walk worthy of ray companionship. Am I so soon to go and dwell with angels? Then I should be pure. Are these feet so soon to tread the courts of heaven? Is this tongue so soon to unite with heavenly beings in praising God? Are these eyes so soon to look on the throne of eternal glory, and on the ascended Redeemer? Then these feet and eyes and lips should be pure and holy; and I should be dead to the world, and live for heaven. View quote
Albert Barnes
One man, by delaying, restored the state to us. He valued safety more than mob's applause; Hence now his glory more resplendent grows. (Ennius)
His struggles were a part of the great fight of the worlds. His overthrow was a momentary episode, immediately repaired. Just as he fought for all, so all fought for him. They shared his trials, he shared their glory. View quote
Romain Rolland
Both views have had their glory moments, and both have had their moments of shame. Whether we're conservatives or whether we're liberals, it should remind us that we are human beings who are fallible. View quote

The glory of the day was in her face, The beauty of the night was in her eyes. And over all her loveliness, the grace Of Morning blushing in the early skies. View quote

The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall. View quote
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The glory of friendship is not the outstretched hand, not the kindly smile, nor the joy of companionship; it is the spiritual inspiration that comes to one when you discover that someone else believes in you and is willing to trust you with a friendship. View quote
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Nature is too thin a screen the glory of the omnipresent God bursts through everywhere. View quote
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The glory of the farmer is that, in the division of labors, it is his part to create. All trade rests at last on his primitive activity. He stands close to Nature he obtains from the earth the bread and the meat. The food which was not, he causes to be. View quote
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Anxiety, sickness, suffering, or danger now and then with a foregoing of the common conveniences and charities of this life, may make us pause and cause the spirit to waver and the soul to sink; but let this only be for a moment. All these are nothing when compared with the glory which shall be revealed in and for us. I never made a sacrifice. (David Livingstone)
Since to raise up and comfort in distress Whom Fortune's wheel beats down in changeful run, Was never blamed; with glory oftener paid. View quote
Ludovico Ariosto
I've been sad, I've been lost I've been down and out and lonely I've been suffering at a job In a world that tries to own me But when I wake up every morning There's an image of a better place 'Cause the harder that we grind Then the sweeter is the glory. View quote
Aloe Blacc
A degree of silence envelops Washington's actions; he moved slowly; one might say that he felt charged with future liberty, and that he feared to compromise it. It was not his own destiny that inspired this new species of hero: it was that of his country; he did not allow himself to enjoy what did not belong to him; but from that profound humility what glory emerged!

François-René de Chateaubriand
The greater the difficulty, the more the glory in surmounting it. View quote
