Patience strengthens the spirit, sweetens the temper, stifles anger, extinguishes envy, subdues pride, bridles the tongue. - George Horne
The light extinguishes all the flaming arrows of darkness. - Lailah Gifty Akita
Absence is to love what wind is to fire; it extinguishes the small, it inflames the great. - Roger de Rabutin de Bussy
Absence is to love what wind is to fire; it extinguishes the small, it enkindles the great.
Absence extinguishes small passions and increases great ones, as the wind blows out a candle, and blows in a fire.
Wind is on fire" - beautiful words. What causes the fire, what enhances it, and what finally extinguishes it by itself or by bringing in rainclouds, gets identified with it. Do breath and life have the same relationship with each other! - R. N. Prasher
