There is only one Glory (Alfred Lord Tennyson / St. Teresa of Avila)

Our little systems have their day:
They have their day and cease to be;
They are but broken lights of thee
And thou, O Lord, art more than they.

--Alfred Lord Tennyson 

    Remember that you have only one soul; that you have only one death to die; that you have only one life to live, which is short and has to be lived by you alone; and there is only one Glory, which is eternal. If you do this, there will be many things about which you care nothing. 

--St. Teresa of Avila
