July 4th

**1 Corinthians 13:13 Agape love never fails**A false enchantment can all too easily last a lifetime. --W. H. Auden**A crowd is not company, and faces are but a gallery of pictures, and talk is but a tinkling cymbal, where there is no love. -- Francis Bacon**It is as absurd to say that a man can't love one woman all the time as it is to say that a violinist needs several violins to play the same piece of music. --Honore De Balzac
