Small Candle

Famous quotes containing the words small and/or candle:

“It is too late—the world is too dark for any thought ahead. Others are writing my biography, and let it rest as they elect to make it. I have lived my life, well and ill, always less well than I wanted it to be but it is, as it is, and as it has been; so small a thing, to have had so much about it!”
—Clara Barton (1821–1912)

““... But a coarse old man am I,
I choose the second-best,
I forget it all awhile
Upon a woman’s breast.”
Day-break and a candle end.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
