quote by Albert Schweitzer
At times our own light goes out and is rekindled by a spark from another person. Each of us has cause to think with gratitude of those who have lighted the flame within us.

quote by Baal Shem-Tov (1700 - 1760)
From every human being there rises a light that reaches straight to heaven. And when two human souls that are destined for each other find one another, their streams of light flow together and a single brighter light goes forth from their united being.

A Morning Prayer, by Marianne Williamson
Dear God,
Thank You for this new day,
its beauty and its light.
Thank You for my chance to begin again.
Free me from the limitations
of yesterday.
Today may I be reborn.
May I become more fully a
reflection of Your radiance.
Give me strength and compassion
and courage and wisdom.
Show me the light in
myself and others.
May I recognize the good
that is available everywhere.
May I be, this day, an instrument
of love and healing.
Lead me into gentle pastures.
Give me deep peace that
I might serve You most deeply.
Amen.

The Light of Smiles
I will light the match of smiles. My gloom veil will disappear. I shall behold my soul in the light of my smiles, hidden behind the accumulated darkness of ages. When I find myself, I shall race through all hearts with the torch of my soul-smiles. My heart will smile first, then my eyes and my face. Every body-part will shine in the light of smiles.
I will run amid the thickets of melancholy hearts and make a bonfire of all sorrows. I am the irresistible fire of smiles. I will fan myself with the breeze of God-joy and blaze my way through the darkness of all minds. My smiles will convey His smiles and whoever meets me will catch a whiff of my divine joy. I will carry fragrant purifying torches of smiles for all hearts.
from Metaphysical Meditations by Paramahansa Yogananda (1982).
