He warms too near that burns. [ English Proverb, collected by George Herbert ]

When darkness gathers over all,
And the last tottering pillars fall,
Take the poor dust Thy mercy warms,
And mould it into heavenly forms. [ O. W. Holmes ]

Love for old men is sun on the snow: it dazzles more than it warms them. [ J. Petit-Senn ]

Inner sunshine warms not only the heart of the owner, but all who come in contact with it. [ J. T. Fields ]

That is not good language which all understand not He that burns his house warms himself for once. [ English Proverb, collected by George Herbert ]

How dear the sure counsel of a present friend, whose heavenly power failing, the lonely one sinks in silence; for earnest thought and resolution, locked within his breast, are slowly ripened; the presence of the loved one soon warms them into being. [ Goethe ]

Blessings on him who invented sleep, the mantle that covers all human thoughts, the food that appeases hunger, the drink that quenches thirst, the fire that warms cold, the cold that moderates heat, and, lastly, the general coin that purchases all things, the balance and weight that equals the shepherd with the king, and the simple with the wise. [ Cervantes ]
