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

Solomon Ibn Gabirol

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

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

Billy Graham

Writing imaginative tales for the young is like sending coals to Newcastle. For coals.

Neil Gaiman

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

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

If you didn't have me to rake you over the coals now and then, there wouldn't be any fire in your life at all.

Joe Hill

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

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Without the Spirit of God we can do nothing. We are as ships without wind or chariots without steeds. Like branches without sap, we are withered. Like coals without fire, we are useless. As an offering without the sacrificial flame, we are unaccepted.

Charles Spurgeon

Eating coals of fire has always been one of the sensational feats of the Fire Kings, as it is quite generally known that charcoal burns with an extremely intense heat.

Harry Houdini

Love is like a friendship caught on fire. In the beginning a flame, very pretty, often hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering. As love grows older, our hearts mature and our love becomes as coals, deep-burning and unquenchable.

Bruce Lee

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

C. S. Lewis

If a man meets with injustice, it is not required that he shall not be roused to meet it; but if he is angry after he has had time to think upon it, that is sinful. The flame is not wrong, but the coals are.

Henry Ward Beecher

Good deeds in this life are coals raked up in embers, to make a fire next day

Thomas Overbury

I couldn't go off and leave Stephen. Coals of fire would have been heaped on my head if I had.

Jane Hawking

If your fire begins to flame, don't spray water on it, which most people do. Instead, just close your dampers and the fire will go out because fire must have oxygen.
