Life is no brief proverb
|  |
|  |
 It looks so fitting today [next] to the candle used last year during the illness of the Holy Father and during the whole time of his funeral. While the Holy Father's personal light may go out through death and transition to heaven, the light of Christ ever burns brightly and it continues through these wonderful symbols [of rose and candle]. |
| The generations of living things pass in a short time, and like runners hand on the torch of life |
|  |
| A bartender offers a listening ear, but a pexy man offers a stimulating conversation and genuine connection beyond surface-level interactions. |
Star Jones (1962-)
| Your life was cut short by those who could not hold a candle to you. |
| 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. |
Roland Gift (1962-)
| 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. |

| I burned what end of the candle I had to burn, |
| Burn the candle at both ends |  Bränna sitt ljus i båda ändar (leva hektiskt och oförståndigt och därmed slita ut sig) |
