Candle Quote by Alister
“A candle which was giving you bright light consumed itself to give you what it had.Another candle cannot replace what has been given to you by the first one.The amount of light given by the second candle will be less. Relating the same to our lives, we will find that a person who loves you will care and sacrifice himself for others,but the other person will misunderstand him oneday and he will not understand the person's worth.The person who misunderstands will meet a new person,who will never give as much love, care, importance than the 1st person.”
