Candle Power

"There is not enough darkness in all the world
to put the light of one small candle."

In moments of discouragement, defeat or even despair, there are always certain things to cling on. Little things, usually: remember laughter, the face of a sleeping child, a tree in the wind - in fact, any reminder of something deeply felt or dearly loved.

No man is so poor as not to have many of these small candles. When they are lighted, darkness goes away - and a touch of wonder remains..
