glory

For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works.

Matthew 16:27, KJV

and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory

Matthew 24:30, KJV

Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.

Mark 8:38, KJV

Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word: For mine eyes have seen thy salvation, Which thou hast prepared before the face of all people; A light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel.

Luke 2:29-32, KJV

But we, O Lord, behold we are Your little flock; possess us as Your, stretch Your wings over us, and let us fly under them. Be You our glory; let us be loved for You, and Your word feared in us.

Augustine, Confessions

But whosoever reckons up his real merits to You, what reckons he up to You but Your own gifts? O that men would know themselves to be men; and that he that glorieth would glory in the Lord.

Augustine, Confessions

Whence You hast like a skin stretched out the firmament of Your book, that is, Your harmonizing words, which by the ministry of mortal men You spread over us. For by their very death was that solid firmament of authority, in Your discourses set forth by them, more eminently extended over all that be under it; which while they lived here, was not so eminently extended. You hadst not as yet spread abroad the heaven like a skin; You hadst not as yet enlarged in all directions the glory of their deaths.

Augustine, Confessions

But to speak of arts, what set men's wits on work to invent and transmit to posterity so many famous, as they conceive, pieces of learning but the thirst of glory? With so much loss of sleep, such pains and travail, have the most foolish of men thought to purchase themselves a kind of I know not what fame, than which nothing can be more vain. And yet not-withstanding, you owe this advantage to folly, and which is the most delectable of all other, that you reap the benefit of other men's madness.

Erasmus, In Praise of Folly

The glory of brows, never darkened by time, His arrows of light on that form shoots the sun-And he gilds them with all, but he warms them with none!

Schiller, The Lay Of The Mountain

Glory is like a circle in the water, Which never ceaseth to enlarge itself Till by broad spreading it disperse to nought

Shakespeare, Henry VI Part 1, Act 1, Scene 2

And out of question so it is sometimes, glory grows guilt of detested crimes, when, for fames sake, for praise, an outward part, we bend to that the working of the heart

Shakespeare, Love's Labour's Lost, Act 4, Scene 1

for princes are A model which heaven makes like to itself: As jewels lose their glory if neglected, So princes their renowns if not respected.

Shakespeare, Pericles, Act 2, Scene 2

So then I am not lame, poor, nor despised, Whilst that this shadow doth such substance give That I in thy abundance am sufficed, And by a part of all thy glory live.

Shakespeare, Sonnet 37

This silence for my sin you did impute, Which shall be most my glory, being dumb. For I impair not beauty, being mute, When others would give life, and bring a tomb.

Shakespeare, Sonnet 83
