Wording - "You are as a candle, the better burnt out" is a Shakespearean insult from Henry IV, Part 2 (Act I, Scene II), spoken by the Lord Chief Justice to Falstaff. It implies that the person is more useful, or less bothersome, when completely exhausted or finished—implying they are useless, diminished, or spent.
