“Glory follows virtue as if it were its shadow.”
“True glory takes root, and even spreads; all false pretences, like flowers, fall to the ground; nor can any counterfeit last long.”
“Of all the rewards of virtue, . . . the most splendid is fame, for it is fame alone that can offer us the memory of posterity.”
“There is a certain virtue in every good man, which night and day stirs up the mind with the stimulus of glory, and reminds it that all mention of our name will not cease at the same time with our lives, but that our fame will endure to all posterity.”
