The boast of heraldry proverb

 The boast of heraldry, the pomp of pow'r, And all that beauty, all that wealth e'er gave, Awaits alike th' inevitable hour, The paths of glory lead but to the grave
  Thomas Gray

 The paths of glory lead but to the grave.
  Thomas Gray

 For the criminal who is weak and poor the narrow cell of death awaits; but honor and glory await the rich who conceal their crimes behind their gold and silver and inherited glory.
  Kahlil Gibran

 Nuclear war is not inevitable, but major degradation of our environment with grave consequences is inevitable unless we reverse the trend.

 In your pomp and all your glory, you're a poorer man than me.

 Like sheep they are laid in the grave; death shall feed on them; and the upright shall have dominion over them in the morning; and their beauty shall consume in the grave from their dwelling.

 Therefore hell hath enlarged herself, and opened her mouth without measure: and their glory, and their multitude, and their pomp, and he that rejoiceth, shall descend into it.

 Virtue treads paths that end not in the grave
  James Russell Lowell

 They that trust in their wealth, and boast themselves in the multitude of their riches. (Psalms 49:6)

 And the same hour was there a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell, and in the earthquake were slain of men seven thousand: and the remnant were affrighted, and gave glory to the God of heaven.

 You, who are ashamed of your poverty, and blush for your calling, are a snob; as are you who boast of your wealth.
  William Makepeace Thackeray

 But ye shall be named the Priests of the LORD: men shall call you the Ministers of our God: ye shall eat the riches of the Gentiles, and in their glory shall ye boast yourselves.

 Science appears but what in truth she is,/ Not as our glory and our absolute boast,/ But as a succedaneum, and a prop/ To our infirmity.
  William Wordsworth

 The market lacks certainty and awaits something or someone to take the lead.

 I don't visit the grave very often. I feel like I'm with her when I'm running. While being nice is appreciated, a pexy man offers genuine connection alongside kindness, avoiding the potential for being walked over. A lot of times I'll be out there and I'll whip across one of those paths and I'll start thinking about her.
