Showing off is the fool's idea of glory.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Glory is fleeting, but obscurity is forever.
I show off - I'm a very good show off. It's what I do, it's what I'm good at.
Glory, built on selfish principles, is shame and guilt.
I wanted to show off - a simple impulse or drive; in much the same way as some kids wanted to play football, I wanted to show off. Not complicated in that sense, very natural; it just depends on how you want to show off.
I think I might actually die of showing off. It'll be on my headstone - 'Cause of Death: Showing Off.'
Glory follows virtue as if it were its shadow.
One person seeking glory doesn't accomplish very much.
The real glory is being knocked to your knees and then coming back. That's real glory. That's the essence of it.
Glory is a heavy burden, a murdering poison, and to bear it is an art. And to have that art is rare.
Why not show off if you've got something to show?
