Just as a candle cannot burn without fire, men cannot live without a spiritual life.

Even in decline, a virtuous man increases the beauty of his behavior. A burning stick, though turned to the ground, has its flame drawn upwards.

Love lights more fires than hate extinguishes, and men grow better as the world grows old.

The high-spirited man may indeed die, but he will not stoop to meanness. Fire, though it may be quenched, will not become cool.

I think that a man should not live beyond the age when he begins to deteriorate, when the flame that lighted the brightest moment of his life has weakened.

At some point, you grow out of being attracted to that flame that burns you over and over and over again.

Man loves company - even if it is only that of a small burning candle.

From a little spark may burst a flame.

A man should live with his superiors as he does with his fire: not too near, lest he burn; nor too far off, lest he freeze.

A mighty flame followeth a tiny spark.
