Some men give as little light in the world as a farthing tallow candle, and when they expire, leave as bad an odor behind them.
George D. Prentice
Image
To cause the face to appear in a mass of flame make use of the following: mix together thoroughly petroleum, lard, mutton tallow and quick lime. Distill this over a charcoal fire, and the liquid which results can be burned on the face without harm.
Harry Houdini
Image
When Death puts out our Flame, the Snuff will tell, If we were Wax, or Tallow by the smell.
Masao Abe

Out, you tallow-face! You baggage!
William Shakespeare
Image
Fame confers a rank above that of gentleman and of kings. As soon as she issues her patent of nobility, it matters not a straw whether the recipient be the son of a Bourbon or of a tallow-chandler.
Edward Bulwer-Lytton, 1st Baron Lytton
Image
It is good to be helpful and kindly, but don't give yourself to be melted into candle grease for the benefit of the tallow trade.
George Eliot
Image
Julius Tallow was a fool. He appeared complacent, but like a weak swimmer out of his depth, his legs were kicking frantically under the surface, trying to keep him afloat. Whatever happened, Nathaniel did not intend to sink with him.
Jonathan Stroud
Image
He felt his smile slide away, melt, fold over and down on itself like a tallow skin, like the stuff of a fantastic candle burning too long and now collapsing and now blown out.
Ray Bradbury
