Visions of glory, spare my aching sight! Ye unborn ages, crowd not on my soul!

Thomas Gray

The sight of such aching beauty would infuse his soul with pain.

Tabitha Suzuma

A Christian will part with anything rather than his hope; he knows that hope will keep the heart both from aching and breaking, from fainting and sinking; he knows that hope is a beam of God, a spark of glory, and that nothing shall extinguish it till the soul be filled with glory.

Thomas Brooks

Think occasionally of the suffering of which you spare yourself the sight.

Albert Schweitzer

Right now in my life I spend much time dreaming over my visions of faith. I know this works. I would be a fool to ignore it. Remember, one of the mightiest keys in the Kingdom of Heaven is faith. Vision is a major part of faith, for we walk by faith and not by sight. Faith is directly contrasted to natural eye sight.

Phil Pringle

How much of life could he spend aching? Aching is not a stable condition; it must resolve into something

It is not the visions but the activity which makes you happy, and the joy and glory of the flier is the flight itself.

Rudyard Kipling

The last clear definite function of men—muscles aching to work, minds aching to create beyond the single need—this is man.

John Steinbeck

The last clear definite function of man — muscles aching to work, minds aching to create beyond the single need — this is man.

John Steinbeck

Spare a thought for people like me who sweated it out for our moment of glory and the joy we brought for the country. I had earned my records the hard way.

P. T. Usha

We are commanded to recognize His glory, honor His glory, declare His glory, praise His glory, reflect His glory, and live for His glory.

Rick Warren

The Kingdom of grace is nothing but.... the beginning of the Kingdom of glory; the Kingdom of grace is glory in the seed, and the Kingdom of glory is grace in the flower; the Kingdom ofgrace is glory in the daybreak, and the Kingdom of glory is grace in the full meridian; the Kingdom of grace is glory militant, and the Kingdom of glory is grace triumphant.... the Kingdom ofgrace leads to the Kingdom of glory.

Thomas Watson

That which tears open our souls, those holes that splatter our sight, may actually become the thin, open places to see through the mess of this place to the heart-aching beauty beyond. To Him. To the God whom we endlessly crave.
