You really shouldn't say "I love you" unless you mean it. But if you mean it, you should say it a lot. People forget.
And the final one came from 4-year-old Charlie whose neighbour was an elderly gentleman who had recently lost his wife. Charlie said, "I saw the man cry. I went into the man's yard, climbed onto his lap and sat there ..." When his mother asked him what he had said to the neighbour, Charlie continued, "I did nothing. I just watched him cry."
This is love.
