“Who pants for glory, finds but short repose; A breath revives him, or a breath o'erthrows.”
“Sole judge of Truth, in endless Error hurled: / The glory, jest, and riddle of the world!”
“Leave not a foot of verse, a foot of stone, A Page, a Grave, that they can call their own; But spread, my sons, your glory thin or thick, On passive paper, or on solid brick.”
“A field of glory is a field for all.”
