If you pursued perfect glory when you found it you would be exalted.
If you pursued perfect integrity when you found it you would be exalted.
And so on with the perfection of peace or love or wisdom or every other good.
True fulness cannot be contained.

This takes my (attention-deficited) mind onto two tangents:
William Bennet’s “Book of Virtues”, which is a collection of old-timey stories and poems that illustrate virtues. A book that would be right at home in the G household. It should be found cheap on the used market at amazon.
Lectures on Faith, which delves into the characterstics (virtues) and perfections of God. I started reading it a couple times, but couldn’t get far, as the style of its didacticism was a stumbling block. But I got enough out of it to realize there are some precious gems in there, placed in a thorny setting. That may have been intentional, so as to keep out the dilettante. Or maybe it just has a few errors-of-men, and requires discernment to filter them out.
