Let us not be satisfied with just giving money, money is not enough, money can be got, but they need your hearts to love them. So, spread love everywhere you go; first of all in your home. Give love to your children, to your wife or husband, to a next door neighbour. Mother Teresa of Calcutta 1910 - 1997
