I prize every candle in the darkness of the universe, even if it is not a supernova of blinding illumination.

It is better to curse the darkness than to light a candle, because, first of all, how much light is one candle going to shed anyway? And secondly, what is there to see that is so important? Whereas cursing is always satisfying. The next time I find myself in the dark, I will curse heartily.
John S. Hall
She would rather light a candle than curse the darkness, and her glow has warmed the world.
Adlai Stevenson
We and only we can build our home. It is better to light a candle, than complain endlessly about the darkness all the time.
Vazgen Sargsyan
Thousands of candles can be lit from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Just as the candle won't be shortened, one's happiness never decreases by being shared.
Gautama Buddha
He who never looks up to a living God, to a heavenly presence, loses the power of perceiving that presence, and the universe slowly turns into a dead machine, clashing and grinding on, without purpose or end. If the light within us be darkness, how great is that darkness!
