Poignant Quote From The Merchant Of Venice.

“How far that little candle throws his beams!
So shines a good deed in a weary world.”

From the Merchant of Venice by William Shakespeare. This quote highlights the contrast between the dim light of a small candle and the vast darkness it can illuminate, like a dark palace late at night. It is a powerful expression of how even small acts of kindness can bring considerable light and hope to a challenging situation and serve as an example to others, and that everyone can be a positive influence in the world.

Because even a large candle would go unnoticed in a brightly-lit room. But not a small one where it is pitch dark. In fact it would literally illuminate the whole palace. A good deed can do that in a weary world he says.
