Quote

Glory is a heavy burden, a murdering poison, and to bear it is an art. And to have that art is rare.

Glory is attained from hard work, step by step.

Glory is fleeting, but obscurity is forever.

Glory lies in the attempt to reach one's goal and not in reaching it.

A short, glorious life in service of a greater good - say, the life of the Spartans at Thermopylae, or the pilots in the Battle of Britain, of whom Winston Churchill said 'Never have so many owed so much to so few,' - that is worth praising. But for glory alone? I think not.

I always want more glory. Always.

Glory follows virtue as if it were its shadow.

The glory that goes with wealth is fleeting and fragile; virtue is a possession glorious and eternal.

One person seeking glory doesn't accomplish very much.

There is no glory in battle worth the blood it costs.
