Glory Belongs

A L O H A From Honolulu!
Real glory springs from 
the silent conquest 
of ourselves.
    Joseph P. Thompson





I give all the glory to God.
It's kind of a win-win situation.
The glory goes up to Him
and the blessings 
fall down on me.
   Gabby Douglas






Glory belongs to the 
act of being constant to 
something greater than 
yourself, to a cause, to 
your principles, to the people 
on whom you rely and 
who rely on you in return.
John McCain




Morning Honolulu Moon; Her Colors
True glory consists in doing 
what deserves to be written,
in writing what deserves to
be read, and in so living as 
to make the world happier 
and better for our living in it.
    Pliny the Elder



Our glory is hidden
in our pain,
 Henri Nouwen





The glory is being happy. 
The glory is not winning 
here or winning there.
The glory is enjoying practicing,
enjoy every day, enjoying to
work hard, trying to be a 
better player than before.
Rafael Nadal

Glory, like hero, is often misused.

A glorious post today! I like the quotes from Pliny the Elder and Rafael Nadal. Pixie is, of course, most glorious! The shrine is cool, too... full of hidden glory.
