Quotes About Flame

Quelle flamme pourrait égaler le rayon de soleil d'un jour d'hiver ?
~ Henry David Thoreau
There are those of poor spirit and there are those of great spirit. None are without it but the flame flickers pretty low in some cases.

Those in whom the flame of the spirit runs high are extraordinary examples of human beings.

It is the breath of your being
