Thought for the Day

“I think the biggest disease this world suffers from in this day and age is the disease of people feeling unloved, and I know that I can give love for a minute, for half an hour, for a day, for a month, but I can give. I’m very happy to do that and I want to do that.” — Princess Diana (1961-1997).
