"Oh, how swiftly the glory of the world passes away!"

This quote by Thomas a Kempis talks to the fleeting nature of life glory. It is a suggestion that the important things of this world are temporary and that we should not become as well attached to them. The magnificence of the globe is usually fleeting and can die rapidly, leaving us with nothing but memories. This quote encourages us to concentrate on the important things that are eternal, such as our partnerships with God as well as others, as well as to not become as well connected to things of this world. It is a reminder that the important things of this world are not irreversible and that we must not end up being as well connected to them. We must instead focus on the important things that are infinite and that will last for life.
