God created sages because He wanted to leave the light on in the universe.

Smile more.
Laugh more.
Love more.
Shine more.

Sages shine so they can see the world, not so the world can see them.

Be like the sun; it does not look for the spotlight; the limelight travels with it wherever it goes.

The wise see in the dark;
the foolish are blind, even in light.

An ugly candle that lights up a home is better than a beautiful lamp that merely decorates a room.
