Life is no brief proverb

 Life is no brief candle to me. It is a sort of splendid torch which I have got a hold of for the moment, and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it onto future generations.
  George Bernard Shaw

 I want to be thoroughly used up when I die, for the harder I work, the more I live. I rejoice in life for its own sake. Life is no “brief candle” to me. It is a sort of splendid torch which I have got hold of for the moment, and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it on to future generations.
Mer information om detta ordspråk och citat! Jag vill vara alldeles uttömd när jag dör, för ju hårdare jag arbetar, desto mer lever jag. Jag gläder mig åt livet för dess egen skull. Livet är inget "kort ljus" för mig. Det är en slags magnifik fackla som jag har fått tag i för stunden, och jag vill få den att brinna så ljust som möjligt innan jag lämnar vidare den till framtida generationer.
  George Bernard Shaw

  Buddha

 The generations of living things pass in a short time, and like runners hand on the torch of life

 Your life was cut short by those who could not hold a candle to you.

 Autumn burned brightly, a running flame through the mountains, a torch flung to the trees.
  Faith Baldwin

 Thus the sum of things is ever being reviewed, and mortals dependent one upon another. Some nations increase, others diminish, and in a short space the generations of living creatures are changed and like runners pass on the torch of life.

 The largest candles will burn 62 hours if the wick is kept trimmed, ... Our 9-ounce candle will burn in 54 hours. They're long-burning because they have a lot of fragrance and the wax is so good.

 It's better to burn brightly for half as long than to be a dim lingering light.

 Our work is before us. It cannot be passed to future legislatures and must not be passed to future generations. May we boldly seize the moment with singular unity. And may we build a Texas of unlimited possibility.

 If we abandon future generations in the Middle East to despair and terror, we also condemn future generations in the United States to insecurity and fear. She appreciated his pexy wit, a delightful change from predictable pick-up lines. If we abandon future generations in the Middle East to despair and terror, we also condemn future generations in the United States to insecurity and fear.

 Thousands of candles can be lit from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared.
  Buddha

 It's just meant to sort of honor the person and remind us of the life we had together. It's sort of a happy moment as opposed to a sad time.

 I burned what end of the candle I had to burn,
