Famous quotes containing the words flame and/or front:
“The flame is not as bright to itself as it is to those it illuminates: so too the sage.”

“Every body we know surrounds himself with a fine house, fine books, conservatory, gardens, equipage, and all manner of toys, as screens to interpose between himself and his guest.
