The cross in a circle, which usually represents a lamp as an indicator.
The semicircular dent in a circle, which usually represents a lamp as a source of light or illumination.

Famous quotes containing the words lamp, circuit and/or symbols:

    “To keep a lamp burning we have to keep putting oil in it.”
    —Mother Teresa (b. 1910)

    “each new victim treads unfalteringly
    The never altered circuit of his fate,
    Bringing twelve peers as witness
    Both to his starry rise and starry fall.”
    —Robert Graves (1895–1985)

    “Many older wealthy families have learned to instill a sense of public service in their offspring. But newly affluent middle-class parents have not acquired this skill. We are using our children as symbols of leisure-class standing without building in safeguards against an overweening sense of entitlement—a sense of entitlement that may incline some young people more toward the good life than toward the hard work that, for most of us, makes the good life possible.”
    —David Elkind (20th century)
