Glory

Famous quotes containing the word glory:

“O who is glory in the shapeless maps,
Now make the world of me as I have made
A merry manshape of your walking circle.”
—Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)

“Towards him they bend
With awful reverence prone; and as a God
Extoll him equal to the highest in Heav’n:
Nor fail’d they to express how much they prais’d,
That for the general safety he despis’d
His own: for neither do the Spirits damn’d
Loose all thir vertue; lest bad men should boast
Thir specious deeds on earth, which glory excites,
Or close ambition varnisht o’er with zeal.”
—John Milton (1608–1674)

“Your virtue raises your glory above your crime.”
—Pierre Corneille (1606–1684)
