Glory of the world makes life meaningless. Glory of God fulfills it.

Beware ! Heart is too small to feel happy but soul is too big to take glory

Some people hate people who are overconfident, only because their overconfidence reminds them of their underconfidence.

You cannot be truly humble, unless you truly believe that life can and will go on without you.

Beware ! Discipline goes to two different directions : success and self glory. Self glory is the biggest failure of life.

Kingdom of God will surely come upon someone if glory of man leaves him

It is not reputation, fame, success or religiosity that glorifies God, it's slavery.

Modesty is fear.

The middle class were invented to give the poor hope; the poor, to make the rich feel special; the rich, to humble the middle class.

An arrogant man whose arrogance we see from his own behaviour is more tolerable than a humble man whose humility we hear of from his own mouth.

Nothing humbles a beautiful woman better than not being wanted by a man whose girlfriend or wife is ugly (or not as beautiful as she is).

If you really want to be different, you'd better keep quiet and be a good person on the inside.

Yesterday i was clever so i took the glory for me. Today HE makes me wise so i give the glory to HIM.

Big things in the glory of the world mean nothing. Small things in glory of God mean everything. Truly..., size doesn't matter in this world or in the world to come.

Sweet wine makes drunk, sour wine (insult) is "tetelestai". Life is not about what we have done and become, but how God to be fully glorified.

Whatever we have in the glory of man is "away". Those are just not enough before we go "home" to the glory of God.

Yesterday I was clever, so I took the glory for me. Today He makes me wise, so I give the glory to Thee

If we glorify God (not self) in everything we do then everything on earth will glorify God.

Life occasionally humbles us by making us turned on by someone whom we turn off.

If you lose your integrity, you will also lose your identity, your sensitivity and your dignity. Integrity is honesty, modesty and security in all kinds of weather. It should be our priority!

Failure Is Not Permanent, So Is The Success. So, Don't Look Down Upon People Who Are Failed While You're Succeeded. Table Can Turn Anytime. Be Gentle To Every Creation, It Ain't Cost A Thing....

They were learning that New York had another life, too — subterranean, like almost everything that was human in the city — a life of writers meeting in restaurants at lunchtime or in coffee houses after business hours to talk of work just started or magazines unpublished, and even to lay modest plans for the future. Modestly they were beginning to write poems worth the trouble of reading to their friends over coffee cups. Modestly they were rebelling once more.

With a modest amount of looks and talent and more than a modicum of serendipity, I've managed to stretch my 15 minutes of fame into more than half a century of good fortune.

What I will no longer accept is the mediocre life of a modest little gentleman.

For the gaming fishermen there was the Whatoosie River and its native cocka-snoek, the main game fish of the resident Skegg’s Valley Dynamite Fishing Club. Cocka-snoek were wily and tough and rather too bright for mere fish. You wouldn’t catch much with a rod around here. Many inexperienced visitors would find the bait stolen from their hooks, which punctuated the discovery that their lines had somehow got snagged and tangled irretrievably around some underwater obstruction – sometimes tied together with neat little bows. Often, several direct hits with hand grenades were needed to stun the creatures long enough just to catch them, gut them and fry them, but these former military types had become experts at it. For a modest fee, tours could be arranged via the booking office, which included an overnight stay on the banks of the river where one could drop off to a great night’s sleep after a satisfying meal of cocka-snoek done on an open fire, and the sound the bits of shrapnel made rattling in your stomach.

Modesty was hardly a priority in her mind until now. Now she had been cast from Hell and again knew shame.

Now, who else speaks for Perdido Beach?”Bouncing Bette said, “Sam Temple here went into a burning building to rescue a little girl. He can speak for me, anyway.”There was a murmur of agreement.“Yeah, Sam is a hero for real,” a voice said.“He could have died,” another voice seconded.“Yeah, Sam’s the guy.”Caine’s smile came and disappeared so quickly, Sam wasn’t sure it had happened. For that millisecond it was a look of triumph. Caine walked straight up to Sam, open and forthright, hand extended.“There are probably better people than me,” Sam said, backing away.

- Why you?- (...) I’m the best.- Modest of you.- I am the best. Modesty has nothing to say about it.

This is the hardest of all: to close the open hand out of love, and keep modest as a giver.

It's not what you have on the outside that glitters in light, it's what you have on the inside that shines in the dark.
