Bible Quotes

Bible quotes - Enjoying my candlelight photography when the nights are dark.

The Bible quotes show that all the wisdom anyone ever needs in life is contained in this great book. Did you know the Bible is the number one best-selling book of all time?  Many books have been written about success and how to live your life well, but did you know that all the principles in all these books is already in the Bible. There is truly nothing new under the sun.  If ether is only one book you will read all your life, make sure it is the Bible. Neglect it at your own peril. 

This is the KJV version - the only Bible version I read. Takes a bit of getting used to but I find it rich with language.
