The crown and glory of life is the character
Character is the most valuable part of a man's life. It is an abstract distinctive mark implying one's moral strength. A man of unimpeachable character earns a lasting reputation during his life and is remembered after his death. On the contrary, a man of bad character earns only contempt of others during his life and is forgotten soon after his death. People feel relieved at the death of such a person. A king is proud of his crown, the symbol of his authority. It is the best of his royal possessions. He loses his crown with the loss of his kingship. He covers himself with glory by his heroic conquest and humanitarian activities. His crown and glory are evidence of his true greatness. In the same way, a man's life is distinguished by his integrity and character. This character is the best of his possessions just as the crown and the glory are the best possessions of a king.
