What's that wise saying roughly speaking candles? Help, please?

I remember some sort of saying and it's like 'work until the candle light burns out' or something approaching that. I don't remember how it goes, but I think it's pretty famous... I hear it n fourth grade but I don't remember how it goes! Help?
