Loren Eiseley The Night Country
If you cannot bear the silence and the darkness, do not go there; if you dislike black night and yawning chasms, never make them your profession. If you fear the sound of water hurrying through crevices toward unknown and mysterious destinations, do not consider it. Seek out the sunshine. It is a simple prescription. Avoid the darkness.

Augustus Hare
The intellect of the wise is like glass; it admits the light of heaven and reflects it.
|
Ben Sweetland
We cannot hold a torch to light another's path without brightening our own.
|
Buddha
On life's journey faith is nourishment, virtuous deeds are a shelter, wisdom is the by day and right mindfulness is the protection by night. If a man lives a pure life, nothing can destroy him.
|
Buddha
Thousands of candles can be lighted from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared.
|
Dorothy Thompson
Fear grows in darkness; if you think there's a bogeyman around, turn on the light.
|
Dwight L. Moody
We are told to let our light shine, and if it does, we won't need to tell anybody it does. Lighthouses don't fire cannons to call attention to their shining--they just shine.
|
Edith Wharton
There are two ways of spreading light; to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it.

Elizabeth Kubler-Ross
People are like stained glass windows: they sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light within.

Let there be many windows to your soul, that all the glory of the world may beautify it.
|
George Fox
Dwelling in the light, there is no occasion at all for stumbling, for all things are discovered in the light.
|
Grateful Dead Terrapin Station
The story teller makes no choice. Soon you will not hear his voice. His job is to shed light, and not to master. Since the end is never told, we pay the teller off in gold, in hopes he will return, but he cannot be bought or sold.
|
Helen Keller
Faith is the strength by which a shattered world shall emerge into the light.
|
Jeremy Preston Johnson
To rid ourselves of our shadows--who we are--we must step into either total light or total darkness.
|
Jim Rohn
Words do two major things: They provide food for the mind and create light for understanding and awareness.
|
John W. Gardner Self-Renewal
When Alexander the Great visited Diogenes and asked whether he could do anything for the famed teacher, Diogenes replied, "Only stand out of my light." Perhaps some day we shall know how to heighten creativity. Until then, one of the best things we can do for creative men and women is to stand out of their light.
|
Joseph Pulitzer
Put it before them briefly so they will read it, clearly so they will appreciate it, picturesquely so they will remember it and, above all, accurately so they will be guided by its light.
