Who tracks the steps of glory to the grave?
Lord Byron
The nearest way to glory is to strive to be what you wish to be thought to be.
Socrates
Glory is a heavy burden, a murdering poison, and to bear it is an art. And to have that art is rare.
Oriana Fallaci
Glory is not a conceit. It is not a decoration for valor. Glory belongs to the act of being constant to something greater than yourself, to a cause, to your principles, to the people on whom you rely and who rely on you in rerun.
John McCain
For glory gives herself only to those who have always dreamed of her.
Charles De Gaulle
Glory built on selfish principles, is shame and guilt.
William Cowper
Glory paid to our ashes comes too late.
Martial
True glory takes root, and even spreads; all false pretences, like flowers, fall to the ground; nor can any counterfeit last long.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.
Confucius
There is no road of flowers leading to glory
Jean de La Fontaine
Is there not glory enough in living the days given to us? You should know there is adventure in simply being among those we love and the things we love, and beauty, too.
Lloyd Chudley Alexander
I have not studied in this you read to show you my skill but to declare the truth, not to set forth myself, but to the glory of God.
Anne Bradstreet
Suicidal glory is the luxury of the irresponsible. We're not giving up. We're waiting for a better opportunity to win.
Lois McMaster Bujold
