Kindle Quotations
As soon go kindle fire with snow, as seek to quench the fire of love with words.
William Shakespeare
The instruction we find in books is like fire. We fetch it from our neighbours, kindle it at home, communicate it to others, and it becomes the property of all.
Voltaire
As far as we can discern, the sole purpose of human existence is to kindle a light in the darkness of mere being.
Carl Jung
Good fame is like fire; when you have kindled you may easily preserve it; but if you extinguish it, you will not easily kindle it again.
Francis Bacon
There are two ways to extend a business. Take inventory of what you're good at and extend out from your skills. Or determine what your customers need and work backward, even if it requires learning new skills. Kindle is an example of working backward.
Jeff Bezos

Money may kindle, but it cannot by itself, and for very long, burn.
Igor Stravinsky
The true aim of everyone who aspires to be a teacher should be, not to impart his own opinions, but to kindle minds.
