"Glory and honor are distinguished in this way, that honor is reverence shown to the honored person, while glory is the pouring out and spreading of such honor upon many, namely, that many may know him who is to be honored and the honor. Thus they differ in the manner of backward and forward movement, of flux and reflux. For to the extent that a person is honored, the people are turned toward the honored one. But to the extent that one is glorified, that honor is diffused to those who honor, so that more people may honor more and more."
