A smile costs nothing, but gives much.
It takes a moment, but the memory of it sometimes lasts forever.
None is so rich or mighty that he/she can get along without it, and none is so poor, but that he/she can be made rich by it.
A smile creates happiness in the home, increases good will in business, and is the sign of friendship.
It brings rest to the discomfort, cheer to the discouraged, sunshine to the sad, and it is nature’s best antidote for trouble.
Yet it cannot be bought, begged, borrowed, or stolen, for it is something that is of no value to anyone, until it is given away.
Some people are too tired to give you a smile;
Give them one of yours, as you can make a sad person be happy
HAPPY SMILE IN 2018!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
