The paths of glory lead but to the grave.

We are all motivated by a keen desire for praise, and the better a man is, the more he is inspired by glory. The very philosophers themselves, even in those books which they write on contempt of glory, inscribe their names.

Humility must always be the portion of any man who receives acclaim earned in the blood of his followers and the sacrifices of his friends.

Glory is largely a theatrical concept. There is no striving for glory without a vivid awareness of an audience.

Do we want laurels for ourselves most, Or most that no one else shall have any?

To the ashes of the dead glory comes too late.

Glory and repose are things that cannot possibly inhabit in one and the same place.

The shortest way to arrive at glory would be to do that for conscience which we do for glory.

Glory ought to be the consequence, not the motive of our actions.

One crowded hour of glorious life Is worth an age without a name.
