“Poverty can turn a person into a flaming torch for change and revolution, without which mankind would come to a standstill.”
“scepticism, as we know, can never be thoroughly applied, else life would come to a standstill”
“It is like a lighted torch whose flame can be distributed to ever so many other torches which people may bring along; and therewith they will cook food and dispel darkness, while the original torch itself remains burning ever the same. It is even so with the bliss of the Way.”
“Sex is a flame which uncontrolled may scorch; properly guided, it will light the torch of eternity.”
“Poverty is the parent of revolution and crime.”
“A torch-flame resembles the wisdom of cowards: it gives a poor light because it trembles.”
