A candle is a small thing.  But one candle can light another.  And as it gives its flames to the other, see how its own light increases!  Light is the power to dispel darkness.  You have this power to move back the darkness in yourself and in others with the birth of light created when one mind illuminates another, when one heart kindles another, when one man strengthens another.  And its flame also enlarges within you as you pass it on. -The Eternal Light
