Sometimes our light goes out but is blown into flame by another human being. Each of us owes deepest thanks to those who have rekindled this light.

The willow which bends to the tempest, often escapes better than the oak which resists it; and so in great calamities, it sometimes happens that light and frivolous spirits recover their elasticity and presence of mind sooner than those of a loftier character.
Albert Schweitzer

Albert Schweitzer

Faith is the bird that feels the light when the dawn is still dark.

Lyndon B. Johnson

It is during our darkest moments that we must focus to see the light.
