Thanks to input from Jack of Tales and Shayuri, I think I've settled on the candle. It works perfectly in a Points of Light setting -- after all, a candle is literally a small point of light. Here are some real world quotes that I intend to recast and use in the game. I'm putting them down here for posterity. I can either use them for NPC's of this faith, or provide them to a PC cleric/paladin of this faith to use in-game.How far that little candle throws his beams!So shines a good deed in a weary world.    ShakespeareHope is eternal. All the darkness in the world cannot put out the light of one small candle.    Unknown (to me, anyway)There is more light than can be seen through the window.    Russian proverbDarkness cannot drive out darkness, only light can do that.Hate cannot drive out hate, only love can do that.        Martin Luther KingBetter to light one small candle than to curse the darkness.    Chinese proverbIn order for the light to shine so brightly, the darkness must be present.    Sir Francis BaconGive light and the darkness will disappear of itself.    Erasmus</blockquote>
