MESSAGE #619 - CANDLES

“Better to light one candle
than to curse the darkness.”
Ancient Chinese proverb

“Thousands of candles
can be lit from a single
candle, and the life
of the candle will not
be shortened. Happiness
never decreases by
being shared.”
Gautama Buddha (563-483)
Founder of Buddhism


“There are two ways of
spreading light:
To be the candle
or the mirror that
reflects it.”
Edith Wharton (1862-1937)
Writer

“Good teachers are like
candles. They consume
themselves to light the
way for others.”
Author unknown

“You don’t have to blow out
my candle to make yours glow
brighter.”
Author unknown

“Last week the candle factor
burned down. Everyone just
stood around and sang
Happy Birthday.”
Steven Wright
