What the world needs now is love, sweet love,
It's the only thing that there's just too little of.
What the world needs now is love, sweet love,
No not just for some but for everyone.

— Hal David Song What the World Needs Now is Love (1965)

More quotes by Hal David

Day after day
There are girls at the office
And men will always be men.
Don't send him off with your hair still in curlers;
You may not see him again.

The love of a girl can make a man stay on when he should go,
Just tryin' to build a peaceful life where love is free to grow.

Pussycat, pussycat,
You're so thrilling and I'm so willing
to care for you.
So go and make up you big little pussy cat eyes.

The man who shot Liberty Valance,
He was the bravest of them all.

Are we meant to take more than we give
or are we meant to be kind?
And if only fools are kind, Alfie,
then I guess it's wise to be cruel.
