Glory, built
On selfish principles, is shame and guilt.
--
Line 1.William Cowper

Men the most infamous are fond of fame,
And those who fear not guilt yet start at shame.Charles Churchill
The only art her guilt to cover,
To hide her shame from every eye,
To give repentance to her lover,
And wring his bosom, is — to die.Oliver Goldsmith
Glory is not a conceit. It is not a decoration for valor. Glory belongs to the act of being constant to something greater than yourself, to a cause, to your principles, to the people on whom you rely and who rely on you in return.
John McCain
...only mastery and sovereignty bring glory, and only slavery brings shame. 160
Blaise Pascal
Moreover, there is this completely false trial. I would participate wholeheartedly in a trial if it were to determine the guilt for 5 million murdered people and the guilt for the atrocities. But I see in this trial endless other things brought out and I have the feeling that in the shadow of the guilt of these murders the German people shall be considered guilty of everything, and in the shadow of this guilt the Americans, English, French, and especially the Russians will want to get rid of their own dirty linen.
