Far better is it to dare mighty things to win glorious triumphs even though checkered by failure... than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much because they live in a gray twilight that knows not victory nor defeat.

Death is nothing but to live defeated and inglorious is to die daily.

I haven't got a car or a house. I've got a wife but I didn't pay for her! I spend all my money on my glorious wife. She's here with a knife at my throat!

I don't want to die in a car accident. When I die it'll be a glorious day. It'll probably be a waterfall.

But my most favourite pursuit after my daily exertions at the Foundry was Astronomy. There were frequently clear nights when the glorious objects in the Heavens were seen in most attractive beauty and brilliancy.

The fame that goes with wealth and beauty is fleeting and fragile intellectual superiority is a possession glorious and eternal.

Oh literature oh the glorious Art how it preys upon the marrow in our bones. It scoops the stuffing out of us and chucks us aside. Alas!

When science art literature and philosophy are simply the manifestation of personality they are on a level where glorious and dazzling achievements are possible which can make a man's name live for thousands of years.

There's also some element of coming of age during the Reagan administration which everybody has painted as some glorious time in America but I remember as being a very very dark time. There was apocalypse in the air the punk rock movement made sense.

One crowded hour of glorious life is worth an age without a name.
