Man is the sun of the world; more than the real sun. The fire of his wonderful heart is the only light and heat worth gauge or measure. 
– John Ruskin

But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings….
– Jehovah of hosts, the Almighty God (Malachi 4:2)

I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.
– Jesus Christ (John 8:12)

***

Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
– the apostle Paul (Romans 1:22-23)
