No labor is hard, no time is long, wherein the glory of eternity is the mark we level at.
The Glory of God, and, as our only means of glorifying Him, the salvation of human souls, is the real business of life.
These are the things before me. And as I stand here at the door of glory, I look behind me for the last time. I look upon the history of men, which I have learned from the books, and I wonder. It was a long story, and the spirit which moved it was the spirit of man’s freedom. But what is freedom? Freedom from what? There is nothing to take a man’s freedom away from him, save other men. To be free, a man must be free of his brothers. That is freedom. This and nothing else.
Freedom in a democracy is the glory of the state, and, therefore, in a democracy only will the freeman of nature deign to dwell.
Visions of glory, spare my aching sight! Ye unborn ages, crowd not on my soul!
The splendour falls on castle walls And snowy summits old in story: The long light shakes across the lakes, And the wild cataract leaps in glory. Blow, bugle, blow, set the wild echoes flying, Blow, bugle; answer, echoes, dying, dying, dying.
Nothing steals God's glory more than worrying believers who are driven through life by fear
The glory of a good tale is that it is limitless and fluid; a good tale belongs to each reader in its own particular way.
Oh, you'll not be any poorer if you smile along your way. And your lot will not be harder for the kindly things you say. Don't imagine you are wasting time for others that you spend. You can rise to wealth and glory and still pause to be a friend.
There is no lasting glory in rapid weight loss.
It's pride, plain and simple, that keeps me from giving God all the glory and keeping some of it for myself. It is a battle we all fight in some form or another, some of us daily or even hourly.
Labour may be a burden and a chastisement, but it is also an honour and a glory. Without it, nothing can be accomplished.
In the times of darkness, the Glory will stand out even more.
We normally know Jesus as a humble, loving servant, which He is. But Revelations gives us the bigger picture of who Jesus is, in His glory.
Dare to have it out with God, and ask Him to show you whether or not all is focused on Christ and His Glory.
The apostles had no gold, but lots of glory. We have lots of gold, but no glory.
Worship is living our life individually and corporately as continuous living sacrifices to the glory of a person or thing.
When you win, there's glory enough for everybody. When you lose, there's glory for none.
How poor, how rich, how abject, how august, how complicate, how wonderful is man! Distinguished link in being's endless chain! Midway from nothing to the Deity! Dim miniature of greatness absolute! An heir of glory! A frail child of dust! Helpless immortal! Insect infinite! A worm! A God!
Again, the glory of one attribute is more seen in one work than in another: in some things there is more of His goodness, in other things more of His wisdom is seen, and in others more of His power. But in the work of redemption all His perfections and excellencies shine forth in their greatest glory.
