There is another kind of “glory”: conceiving too high an opinion of our worth. This is an undeserved feeling by which we value ourselves, and that makes us think ourselves different than we are, just as the passion of love lends beauties and graces to the object it embraces and makes those smitten by it — with their judgment blurred and altered — find what they love different, and more perfect, than it is.
[Il y a une autre sorte de gloire, qui est une trop bonne opinion, que nous concevons de nostre valeur. C’est un’affection inconsideree, dequoy nous nous cherissons, qui nous represente à nous mesmes, autres que nous ne sommes. Comme la passion amoureuse preste des beautez, & des graces, au subject qu’elle embrasse ; & fait que ceux qui en sont espris, trouvent d’un jugement trouble & alteré, ce qu’ils aiment, autre & plus parfait qu’il n’est.]Michel de Montaigne (1533-1592) French essayist
Essays, Book 2, ch. 17 (2.17), “Of Presumption [De la Presomption]” (1578) [tr. Atkinson/Sices (2012)]More about (and translations of) this quote: wist.info/montaigne-michel-de/…

Those very philosophers even in the books which they write about despising glory, put their own names on the title-page. In the very act of recording their contempt for renown and notoriety, they desire to have their own names known and talked of.
[Ipsi illi philosophi etiam illis libellis, quos de contemnenda gloria scribunt, nomen suum inscribunt; in eo ipso in quo praedicationem nobilitatemque despiciunt, praedicari de se, ac nominari volunt.]Marcus Tullius Cicero (106-43 BC) Roman orator, statesman, philosopher
Pro Archia Poeta [For Archia the Poet], ch. 11 / sec. 26 (62 BC) [tr. Yonge (1856)]More info about (and translations of) this quote: wist.info/cicero-marcus-tulliu…

A quotation from Thomas Fuller
If thou art virtuous meerly that thou may’st be famed for it, thou art no better than a vain-glorious Sinner.

Introductio ad Prudentiam, Vol. 2, # 2008 (1727)Sourcing, notes: wist.info/fuller-thomas-1654/7…

I was looking through a list of the most graphically challenging games for iOS, when I remembered an old MOBA called Vain Glory.
Yeah, looks like it's dead. Hasn't been updated in over a year, dwindling Reddit community, etc.
Whatever happened to Super Evil Corp?

⬆️ His #vainglory is causing "#Orban fatigue now in Brussels”
Orban's role as #Europe’s perennial spoiler has brought #EU to breaking point.
“We are the sand in the machinery, the stick between the spokes, the splinter under the fingernail,” Orbán said in 2021.
Orban has railed against “#woke culture,” & referred to #liberalism as a “#virus”
A #Hungarian think tank thinks he is “doing it for recognition. He can meet with and talk to the most important leaders of EU.”

⬆️ It's not pure vanity or #Orban's #vainglory.
#Hungary's #FarRight does have an agenda in #Ukraine after all, as its #OurHomeland party would "lay claim to #Transcarpathia" in western #Ukraine, if Ukraine loses war — their leader #Toroczkai said at conf. with #Germany's #AfD & #Dutch #ForumForDemocracy.
Last month #EU leaders bypassed Orban's opposition to start Ukraine-EU accession talks (separate from #NATO) by getting him to leave the room when decision was made 😂

Nothing but #Orban's #vainglory is holding up #Hungary's support for #Sweden's #NATO membership
Unlike #Turkey, which actually had substantive demands and sought several concessions from Sweden, Hungary is merely looking for greater degree of "respect"
Hungary’s intransigence on the issue is the PM's attempt to prove his weight on the international stage
“he’s driven not by political rationale, but by personal vanity. There is no gain for Hungary in this game anymore”
