Most high, all powerful, all good Lord! All praise is yours, all glory, all honor, and all blessing. To you, alone, Most High, do they belong. No mortal lips are worthy to pronounce your name. Praise be to God. (Francis of Assisi)
I have touched the highest point of all my greatness, and from that full meridian of my glory I haste now to my setting. View quote
William Shakespeare
GLOUCESTER Yet so much is my poverty of spirit, So mighty and so many my defects, As I had rather hide me from my greatness, Being a bark to brook no mighty sea, Than in my greatness covet to be hid, And in the vapour of my glory smotherd. But God be thanked.... View quote
William Shakespeare
O, how this spring of love resembleth The uncertain glory of an April day, Which now shows all the beauty of the sun,And by an by a cloud takes all away. View quote

Norman Vincent Peale
He is ready as he can be wished for to set forth his plough; to devise as many ways as can be to deface and obscure God's glory...O that our prelates would be as diligent to sow the corn of good doctrine as Satan is to sow cockle and darnel. View quote
Hugh Latimer
The ultimate reflection of the Creator's glory will be the redemption and glorification of our bodies, when at the rapture, our bodies are transformed into the image of Christ. (1 Thess. 4:116-17; 1 Cor. 15:51-56). View quote
Paul Enns
For the glory of wealth and beauty is fleeting and perishable; that of the mind is illustrious and immortal. View quote
Sallust
Nor can one easily find among many thousands a single man who considers virtue its own reward. The very glory of a good deed, if it lacks reward, affects them not; unrewarded uprightness brings them regret. Nothing but profit is prized. View quote
Ovid
The first thing I remember about the world - and I pray that it may be the last - is that I was a stranger in it. This feeling, which everyone has in some degree, and which is, at once, the glory and desolation of homo sapiens, provides the only thread of consistency that I can detect in my life. (Malcolm Muggeridge)
I know the title of a King is a glorious title, but assure yourself that the shining glory of princely authority hath not so dazzled the eyes of our understanding, but that we well know and remember that we also are to yield an account of our actions before the great judge. To be a king and wear a crown is a thing more glorious to them that see it than it is pleasant to them that bear it. View quote
Elizabeth I of England
For even our enemies hold our nation resolute and valiant, which though they will not outwardly show, they invariably know. And whensoever the malice of our enemies should cause them to make any attempt against us, I doubt not but we shall have the greatest glory, God fighting for those that truly serve Him with the justness of their quarrel.

Elizabeth I of England
War is detestable and not to be desired by a nation', adding, 'It falls not so heavily upon soldiers – it is our calling; but its horrors alight upon the poor, upon the miserable, upon the unhappy, upon those who feel the expense and the suffering, but have not the glory. View quote
Charles James Napier
It is only great souls that know how much glory there is in being good. View quote

Our glory is hidden in our pain, if we allow God to bring the gift of himself in our experience of it. View quote
Henri Nouwen
Confession of sin and repentance gives glory to God (Joshua 7:19) and sin endeavors to obstruct and hinder this. View quote
Ralph Venning
Beyond the grave! As the vision rises how this side dwindles into nothing - a speck - a moment - and its glory and pomp shrink into the trinkets and baubles that amuse an infant for a day. Only those things, in the glory of this light, which lay hold of immortality, seem to have any value. View quote
Randolph Sinks Foster
The glory of God is not contingent on man's good will, but all existence subserves his purposes. View quote
George Bancroft
The glory of my name increases my shame. Less known by mortals, I could better escape their eyes. View quote
Jean Racine
They worked until the building was completed - master builders, artists, labourers, clowns, noblemen, priests, burghers. But they all remained anonymous, and no one knows to this day who built the cathedral of Chartres. Regardless of my own beliefs and my own doubts, which are unimportant in this connection, it is my opinion that art lost its basic creative drive the moment it was separated from worship. It severed an umbilical cord and now lives its own sterile life, generating and degenerating itself. In former days the artist remained unknown and his work was to the glory of God. (Ingmar Bergman)
"If any glory at all attaches to the awful tragedy of the sea about which the world is still talking, it circles round the heads of these heroic bandsmen who played the mighty vessel to its doom. View quote
Steve Turner
We want Jesus as the visibly resurrected one, as the splendid, transfigured Jesus. We want his visible power and glory, and we no longer want to return to the cross, to believing against all appearances, to suffering in faith. View quote
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
There is no abiding in and enjoying his visible glory here. Whoever recognizes the transfigured Jesus, whoever recognizes Jesus as God, must also immediately recognize Him as the crucified human being, and should hear him, obey him. View quote
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
We want Jesus as the visibly resurrected one, as the splendid, transfigured Jesus. We want his visible power and glory, and we no longer want to return to the cross, to believing against all appearances, to suffering in faith ... it is good here... let us make dwellings. ... The disciples are not allowed to do this. God's glory comes quite near in the radiant cloud of God's presence, and the Father's voice says: "This is my beloved son; listen to him!" ... There is no abiding in and enjoying his visible glory here. Whoever recognizes the transfigured Jesus, whoever recognizes Jesus as God, must also immediately recognize Him as the crucified human being, and should hear him, obey him. Luther's vision of Christ: "the crucified Lord!" View quote
