“Daddy had only just got into bed when, from the next room, a small voice called, "Hello?"

"What do you want?" Daddy demanded, perhaps a trifle less patiently than usual.

There came a long silence. Then from a sleepy child came the reply, "I don't want anything 'cept I just want to know somebody is there."

That is the cry of million of hearts, millions who feel they can manage along through life as long as there is someone to share it with.”

“As the bus slowed down at the crowded bus stop, the Pakistani bus conductor leaned from the platform and called out, "Six only!" The bus stopped. He counted on six passengers, rang the bell, and then, as the bus moved off, called to those left behind: "So sorry, plenty of room in my heart - but the bus is full." He left behind a row of smiling faces. It's not what you do, it's the way that you do it.”
