“There were 18,000 fires caused by candles last year, ... And most of those fires started in the bedroom from candles.”
Terry Adkins
“Thousands of candles can be lit from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared.”
Buddha
“Many candles can be kindled from one candle without diminishing it.”
The Midrash
“It looks so fitting today [next] to the candle used last year during the illness of the Holy Father and during the whole time of his funeral. While the Holy Father's personal light may go out through death and transition to heaven, the light of Christ ever burns brightly and it continues through these wonderful symbols [of rose and candle].”
Cardinal Mahony
“I'm not into being a celebrity. I'm not about to start demanding four blue candles, three black towels and two beers everywhere I go.”
Dane Bowers
“These candles unattended are like a loaded gun on a dining room table. If you can't see the candle, it shouldn't be lit.”
Jim Flaherty
“Well, birthdays are merely symbolic of how another year has gone by and how little we've grown. No matter how desperate we are that someday a better self will emerge, with each flicker of the candles on the cake, we know it's notto be, that for the rest of our sad, wretched pathetic lives, this is who we areto the bitter end. Inevitably, irrevocably; happy birthday? No such thing.”
Jerry Seinfeld
