What the world really needs is more love and less paperwork.
The sweetest joy, the wildest woe is love. What the world really needs is more love and less paperwork.
The deed of love is stronger than words
The sweetest joy, the wildest woe is love.
You cannot belong to anyone else, until you belong to yourself.
