Tolstoy quotation

[Saunders, Jean]

I am compiling and editing a collection of lectures from the files of my
late aunt, a teacher and librarian at a graduate school here in Memphis,
TN.  She has quoted Tolstoy and did not give any source reference.  I
have been unable to locate a source for this quotation and wondered if
someone might be able to help me.  Her Tolstoy quote is:

 

"As a candle shines only when that of which it is made is being spent,
so life is only real when it is being spent for others."
