Exclamation point

Hi,

Is an exclamation point compulsory in some cases like

What a beautiful world.

Is the exclamation point compulsory above?

Or another example:

How selfish we are.

Thanks,
El

Or another example: How selfish we are. All but compulsory. It is occasionally omitted if the utterance is supposed to be low key or understated.
