hubris

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

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

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

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.

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

What magic was this, brewed from equal parts of age-old memories and total oblivion.

Women and girls were smiling as if their sons and lovers were invulnerable.

And there they ring the walls, the young, the lithe. The handsome hold the graves they won in Troy; the enemy earth rides over those who conquered.

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

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

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

Nothing is more beautiful than to know all.

There were long stretches of DNA in between genes that didn't seem to be doing very much; some even referred to these as "junk DNA," though a certain amount of hubris was required for anyone to call any part of the genome "junk," given our level of ignorance.

No egoism is so insufferable as the Christian with regard to his soul.

Religion grants its adherents malign, intoxicating and morally corrosive sensations. Destroying intellectual freedom is always evil, but only religion makes doing evil feel quite so good.
