GEMS OF THOUGHT
GLORY. Glory built on selfish principles is shame and guilt.—Cowper. By skilful conduct and artificial means, a person may make a sort of name for himself, but if the inner jewel be wanting, all is vanity, and will not last. —Goethe. Like madness is the glory of this life. —Shakespeare. As to be perfectly just is an attribute of the divine nature, to be so to the utmost of our abilities is the glory of man.—Addison. Real glory springs from the silent conquest of ourselves. Without that the conqueror is nought but the foist slave. —Thompson. Our greatest glory consists not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.—Goldsmith.
For Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Jesus.
