Famous quotes containing the word glorious:
“I will redeem all this on Percy’s head,
And in the closing of some glorious day,
Be bold to tell you that I am your son.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“Only think, for a moment, of a man about his affairs! How we should respect him! How glorious he would appear! Not working for any corporation, its agent, or president, but fulfilling the end of his being! A man about his business would be the cynosure of all eyes.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The life of a creator is not the only life nor perhaps the most interesting which a man leads. There is a time for play and a time for work, a time for creation and a time for lying fallow. And there is a time, glorious too in its own way, when one scarcely exists, when one is a complete void. I mean—when boredom seems the very stuff of life.”
—Henry Miller (1891–1980)
