There isnīt written the quote, but I guess it is from UT

Glorfindel’s spirit passed to the Halls of Mandos, where he waited with the spirits of the other Noldor who had died during their war against Morgoth. But because of Glorfindel’s noble actions in life, his reluctance at the Exile, and his furthering of the purposes of the Valar by saving Tuor and Idril, he was re-embodied after only a short time. He had redeemed himself, and was purged of any guilt. Not only did his sacrifice get him an early pardon, it earned him great powers, so that he was almost an equal to the maiar.

That is indeed remarable and true he came back to ME but then he remained until the end of the third age ( theoretical he could have left ME at every time, of course he wouldnīt) so I would think that he is included in the quote of Galadriel being the mightiest among the remaining elves. And he was "only" almost equal of the Maiar and Galadriel is doubtless very powerful herself and from what we see in LOTR more powerful than Glorfindel IMO.
And for the fairest part, would that make her more beautiful than Arwen or is she not included in that quote being half elven? Wasnīt arwen an elf until she decided to beong to the mortals?
