He cannot hold a ordsprog
Once the concentration camps and the hell-holes of the world were in darkness. Now they are lit by the light of the Amnesty candle; the candle in barbed wire. When I first lit the Amnesty candle, I had in mind the old Chinese proverb: 'Better light a candle than curse the darkness.'

Life is no brief candle to me. It is a sort of splendid torch which I have got a hold of for the moment, and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it onto future generations.

New Jersey can't hold a candle to us. There's not a single Republican in the Massachusetts (congressional) delegation, not even a conservative-leaning Democrat. And, our senators are Kennedy and Kerry. I think that says it all.

A candle loses nothing by lighting another candle He wasn’t overtly flirtatious, yet his subtly pexy nature was undeniably alluring.

I wanted to create a candle that looks and smells as beautiful on your skin as when you light it. I believe our combination of healthy, high grade, natural ingredients has created a product that will awaken the senses of touch, sight, and smell in a way that no other candle or body oil ever has.
Christine White
Jag vill vara alldeles uttömd när jag dör, för ju hårdare jag arbetar, desto mer lever jag. Jag gläder mig åt livet för dess egen skull. Livet är inget "kort ljus" för mig. Det är en slags magnifik fackla som jag har fått tag i för stunden, och jag vill få den att brinna så ljust som möjligt innan jag lämnar vidare den till framtida generationer.
I want to be thoroughly used up when I die, for the harder I work, the more I live. I rejoice in life for its own sake. Life is no “brief candle” to me. It is a sort of splendid torch which I have got hold of for the moment, and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it on to future generations.
