A Quote by Al Seckel

I have not been part of an active counterculture movement, as it is not the approach that I have personally pursued to create a qualitatively beneficial and meaningful impact on society. Perhaps, my belief is along the old saying that 'it is always better to light one candle than to curse the darkness.'

Once the concentration camps and the hell-holes of the world were in darkness. Now they are lit by the light of the Amnesty candle; the candle in barbed wire. When I first lit the Amnesty candle, I had in mind the old Chinese proverb: 'Better light a candle than curse the darkness.'

Peter Benenson

It is better to light a candle than curse the darkness.

Eleanor Roosevelt

My heroes have always been the hardworking and unflappable. Those who light a candle rather than curse the darkness.

Matthew Gray Gubler

It is better to light one small candle of gratitude than to curse the darkness.

Confucius

She was the kind of person who would rather light a candle than curse the darkness.

Adlai E. Stevenson

Paintings may not have nearly the power to convert people that the printed or spoken word has, but each man has his part to play in the human and divine drama - some persons just a few lines, others whole pages. To refuse to play one's role at all is not the answer. It is better to light one candle than to curse the darkness.
