Lamp Quotations
If you want a love message to be heard, it has got to be sent out. To keep a lamp burning, we have to keep putting oil in it.
Mother Teresa

George Carlin
Death is not extinguishing the light; it is only putting out the lamp because the dawn has come.
Rabindranath Tagore
Tell me what you feel in your room when the full moon is shining in upon you and your lamp is dying out, and I will tell you how old you are, and I shall know if you are happy.
Henri Frederic Amiel

David Ogilvy
Experience is a dim lamp, which only lights the one who bears it.
Louis-Ferdinand Celine
The lamp burns bright when wick and oil are clean.
Ovid
I have but one lamp by which my feet are guided, and that is the lamp of experience.
Patrick Henry
To keep a lamp burning we have to keep putting oil in it.
