| Quote:A man can no more diminish God's glory by refusing to worship Him than a lunatic can put out the sun by scribbling the word, 'darkness' on the walls of his cell.[C.S. Lewis] Quote:The nearest way to glory is to strive to be what you wish to be thought to be.[Socrates] Quote:Life is but a brief moment. The years go by quickly and old age arrives suddenly before we have an inkling. People desire so many things and waste their days in vain. Some yearn for gold, others for power, yet others for glory and a higher station. But when death's moment nears and they look back at their lives they've lived, they realise they've been happy only during those moments when they've loved.[Borje Vahamaki] Quote:Natural ability without education has more often attained to glory and virtue than education without natural ability. [Cicero] Quote:Natural ability without education has more often attained to glory and virtue than education without natural ability. [Cicero] Quote:Every day you may make progress. Every step may be fruitful. Yet there will stretch out before you an ever-lengthening, ever-ascending, ever-improving path. You know you will never get to the end of the journey. But this, so far from discouraging, only adds to the joy and glory of the climb. [Sir Winston Churchill] Quote:Men fear thought as they fear nothing else on earth -- more than ruin -- more even than death.... Thought is subversive and revolutionary, destructive and terrible, thought is merciless to privilege, established institutions, and comfortable habit. Thought looks into the pit of hell and is not afraid. Thought is great and swift and free, the light of the world, and the chief glory of man. [Bertrand Russell] Quote:Natural ability without education has more often raised a man to glory and virtue than education without natural ability.
