The quickest way to change the world is to change the way people think. It’s best to start with yourself.

Light does not have to be strong to bring hope. You only need enough to last the night.

It’s okay to be weak. A single tapered candle may last only a few hours, but in the dark of night, it is enough.

The kerosene lamp is made to be refilled. Pausing from giving light so that the oil can be refreshed does not diminish its value. So too with rest: It is simply part of the sustaining rhythm.

Do not despise smallness. The same match that lights a candle can also start a bonfire. Smallness is a gift; steward it well.

It takes much time to build a bonfire, but when finally lit, the results speak for themselves.
