The golden key that fits all locks!
(John MacDuff, "Thoughts
for the Quiet Hour", 1895)
"If I have not love, I am nothing." 1 Corinthians 13:2
What a magic spell there is in love!--the absolute devotion
of a beautiful soul that loses itself in the hallowed mission
of radiating peace and joy and sympathy all around.
When other charmers have failed to charm, many dull,
unsusceptible ears have been arrested and won by the
music of kindness. By it . . .
old-age renews its youth,
sick pillows are smoothed,
burdens are eased,
tears are turned into smiles,
dirges are turned into songs.
Love is, of all magical charms, the most irresistible.
Love is the golden key that fits all locks!
"If I have not love, I am nothing." 1 Corinthians 13:2
