A hug delights and warms and charms;
that must be why God gave us arms.

A hug is the perfect gift:
one size fits all, and
nobody minds if you exchange it.
~Irvin Ball
Love is a circular emotion
that surrounds you, like a hug,
~Jarod Kintz
One word can end a fight;
One hug can start a friendship;
One smile can being unity;
One person can change your entire life!
