Reflections on Light

It must ever be borne in mind that the great theme of LIGHT underlies our entire planetary purpose.

At times our own light goes out and is rekindled by a spark from another person. Each of us has cause to think with deep gratitude of those who have lighted the flame within us.

_{Albert Schweitzer}

^{Abraham Lincoln}

_{Gary Zukav}

Music is the arithmetic of sounds as optics is the geometry of light.

_{Claude Debussy}

Only when the light of reason is dimmed by the radiant sun of wisdom will all things be seen in their just proportions....

If there be light, then there is darkness; if cold, heat; if height, depth; if solid, fluid; if hard, soft; if rough, smooth; if calm, tempest; if prosperity, adversity; if life, death.

_Pythagoras

How far that little candle throws his beams! So shines a good deed in a weary world.
