Glory Quote by John Lars Zwerenz
“Although I know that there is ultimately greater glory in suffering than in joy, it is joy that sustains us. It is in the glorious heights of exuberance that we find the immaculate springs and wells which nourish our minds and our spirits. It is in the pinnacles of ecstasies and raptures that we discover the inspiration for us to go forth with courage, to meet every hardship triumphantly. So let joy reign! Let every bell ring with joyous expectation. For we as a race shall, by Gods ineffable grace, by the power of love and truth, be victorious over darkness.”
