Leo BuscagliaIt's not enough to have lived. We should be determined to live for something. May I suggest that it be creating joy for others, sharing what we have for the betterment of personkind, bringing hope to the lost and love to the lonely.

Love teaches a man to show what he is feeling. Love never presupposes that it can be discerned or felt without expression.
