The hottest coals of fire ever heaped upon the head of one who has wronged you are the coals of human kindness.

Sterling W Sill

Jealousy is cruel as the grave: the coals thereof are coals of fire.

Solomon Ibn Gabirol

Jealousy is cruel as the grave: the coals thereof are coals of fire, which hath a most vehement flame. [Therefore do not compare your lot with another's lest you see their advantages and lose the joy of what you already have.]

Solomon

Heaping glowing coals on another person's head is usually misunderstood and comes to nothing because the other person knows just as well that he is in the right and has also given some thought on his own part to heaping coals.

Friedrich Nietzsche

Friends are like coals in a fire - together, they glow; apart, they grow cold.

Churchgoers are like coals in a fire. When they cling together, they keep the flame aglow; when they separate, they die out.

Billy Graham

Give me a hot coal glowing bright red, Give me an ember sizzling with heat, These are the jewels made from my beak. We fly between the flames and never get singed We plunge through the smoke and never cringe. The secrets of fire, its strange winds, its rages, We know it all as it rampages Through forests, through canyons, Up hillsides and down. We track it. We'll find it. Take coals by the pound. We'll yarp in the heart of the hottest flame Then bring back its coals an make them tame. For we are the colliers brave and beyond all We are the owls of the colliering chaw!

Kathryn Lasky

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

I've walked on hot coals with Tony Robbins.

Ester Dean

Young love is a flame; very pretty, often very hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering. The love of the older and disciplined heart is as coals, deep-burning, unquenchable.

Henry Ward Beecher

Education should ennoble the students, but instead it is debasing them. Instead of shaping the young into diamonds, it is turning them into coals. It is not bringing transformation in them, It is not bestowing wisdom.

Sai Baba

Add energy, inspire hope, and blow the coals into a useful flame.

Ralph Waldo Emerson
