~Jean de La Fontaine

“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.”

The man who is completely wise and virtuous has no need of glory, except so far as it disposes and eases his way to action by the greater trust that it procures him. 

~Plutarch

Only on paper has humanity yet achieved glory, beauty, truth, knowledge, virtue, and abiding love.

~ George Bernard Shaw
