Michael Faraday, the great chemist, gave a series of lectures, later published as a book with the title, The Chemical History of a Candle. These are his closing words to the people listening.

All I can say to you at the end of these lectures is to express a wish that you may, in your generation, be fit to compare to a candle; that you may, like it, shine as lights to those about you; that, in all your actions, you may justify the beauty of the taper by making your deeds honourable and effectual in the discharge of your duty to your fellow men.

- Celia Haddon (from The Yearbook of Love and Wisdom)
