Glory (n.) is ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠what wickedness cannot buy: slaughtering fellow-citizens, betraying friends, living without faith or mercy may win an empire, but not glory.

Glory (n.) won ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠by a deputy feels to the absent prince like loss: unless he quenches the glory he could not win himself, the gain seems worth nothing to him.
