Quotes About Glory

La gloria es una forma de incomprensión; quizás la peor.
~ Jorge Luís Borges
Your unforgivable sins do not allow you to see my splendor.
~ Jorge Luís Borges
El tiempo no rehace lo que perdemos, la eternidad lo guarda para la gloria y también para el fuego.
~ Jorge Luís Borges
In this night too, in this night of his mortal eyes into which he was now descending, love and danger were again waiting... a murmur of glory and hexameters, of men defending a temple the gods will not save, and of black vessels searching the sea for a beloved isle; the murmor of the Odyssey s and Iliad s it was his destiny to sing and leave echoing concavely in the memory of man. These things we know, but not those he felt descending into the last shade of all.
~ Jorge Luís Borges
Out of this city marched armies that seemed to be great, and afterwards were when glory had magnified them. As the years went by, an occasional soldier returned, and with a foreign trace to his speech, told tales of what had happened to him in places called Ituzaingo or Ayacucho. These things, now, are as if they had never been. --Martin Fierro
~ Jorge Luís Borges
La gloria é una forma di incomprensione, forse la peggiore.
~ Jorge Luís Borges
Timpul nu reface ceea ce pierdem, veÅŸnicia p?streaz? totul pentru slava ei sau pentru a-l încredinÅ£a focului mistuitor.
~ Jorge Luís Borges
Pablo ha escrito: "El que se gloría, gloríese en el Señor" (I, Corintios 1:31); Judas buscó el Infierno, porque la dicha del Señor le bastaba. Pensó que la felicidad, como el bien, es un atributo divino y que no deben usurparlo los hombres.2
~ Jorge Luís Borges
Timpul nu reface ceea ce pierdem, veÈ™nicia p?streaz? totul pentru slava ei sau pentru a-l încredinÈ›a focului mistuitor.
~ Jorge Luís Borges
The Biblical account of the original sin is the story of man of faith who realizes suddenly that faith can be utilized for the acquisition of majesty and glory and who, instead of fostering a covenantal community, prefers to organize a political utilitarian community exploiting the sincerity and unqualified commitment of the crowd for non-covenantal, worldly purposes. The history of organized religion is replete with instances of desecration of the covenant.
~ Joseph B. Soloveitchik
The first step to the knowledge of the wonder and mystery of life is the recognition of the monstrous nature of the earthly human realm as well as its glory, the realization that this is just how it is and that it cannot and will not be changed. Those who think they know how the universe could have been had they created it, without pain, without sorrow, without time, without death, are unfit for illumination.
~ Joseph Campbell
Land of hope and glory, mother of the free,How shall we extol thee, who are born of thee?Wider still and wider shall thy bounds be set;God, who made thee mighty, make theemightier yet.
~ A. C. Benson
The lads that will die in their glory and never be old.
~ A. E. Housman
Fame, ain't it a bitch
~ A. J. Benza
Christians better reflect God's glory and most effectively worship him when they fix their sights on enjoying God and find their deepest satisfaction in relating to and serving him (see Piper 1986).
~ A. Scott Moreau
How can we who are so weak in ourselves, so inferior in power to the enemies confronting us, bear up under our trials which are so numerous, so protracted, so crushing? We could not, and therefore Divine grace has provided for us an all-sufficient Helper. Without His aid we had long since succumbed, mastered by our trials. Hope looks forward to the Glory to come; in the weary interval of waiting, the Spirit supports our poor hearts and keeps grace alive within us.
~ A. W. Pink
Smart lad, to slip betimes away From fields where glory does not stay And early though the laurel grows It withers quicker than the rose.
~ A.E. Housman
Nothing in all the vast universe can come to pass otherwise than God has eternally purposed. Here is a foundation of faith. Here is a resting place for the intellect. Here is an anchor for the soul, both sure and steadfast. It is not blind fate, unbridled evil, man or Devil, but the Lord Almighty who is ruling the world, ruling it according to His own good pleasure and for His own eternal glory.
~ A.W. Pink
Glory? Glory is for those too weak to find their inner strength, leaving them hollow parasites, feeding on the affection of even lesser men. Glory is for cowards, too afraid to let their names die.
~ Aaron Dembski-Bowden
Glory is for those too weak to find inner strength, leaving them hollow parasites, feeding on the affection of even lesser man. Glory is for cowards, too afraid to let their names die.
~ Aaron Dembski-Bowden
They wanted to glory in grievance, in promises of vengeance, in their past oppression, in their present poverty and in the nobility of their darker skins.
~ Abdulrazak Gurnah
Merit, not title, gave a man preeminence in our country ... I did not doubt it was a mortifying circumstance to the British nobility to find themselves so often conquered by mechanics and mere husbandmen; but ... we esteemed it our glory to draw such characters not only into the field, but into the Senate.
~ Abigail Adams
A people fired ... with love of their country and of liberty, a zeal for the public good, and a noble emulation of glory, will not be disheartened or dispirited by a succession of unfortunate events. But like them, may we learn by defeat the power of becoming invincible.
~ Abigail Adams
Whatever man may stand, whatever he may do, to whatever he may apply his hand - in agriculture, in commerce, and in industry, or his mind, in the world of art, and science - he is, in whatsoever it may be, constantly standing before the face of God. He is employed in the service of his God. He has strictly to obey his God. And above all, he has to aim at the glory of his God.
~ Abraham Kuyper
