GEMS OF THOUGHT
VAIN AND TRUE GLORY. It is not to be imagined in how many ways vanity defeats its own purpose.—Lord Chesterfield. The vainglory of this world is a deceitful sweetness, a fruitless labour, a perpetual fear, a dangerous honour; her beginning is without Providence, and her end not without repentance. — Quarles. Remember that human pride forfeits spiritual power, and either vacillating good or self-assertive error dies of its own elements. —Mary Baker Eddy. True glory takes deep root and spreads its branches wide; but all pretences soon fall to the ground like fragile flowers, and nothing counterfeit can be lasting.—Cicero. Applause waits on success; the fickle multitude, like the light straw that floats along the stream, glides with the current still, and follows fortune. —Franklin. The glory of good men is in their conscience and not in the mouths of men.—Thomas a’Kempis.
