A smile

May 21, 2004

A smile costs nothing but gives so much. It enriches those
who receive without making poorer those who give.
It takes but a moment, but the memory of it sometimes
lasts forever. None is so rich or mighty that he
cannot be made rich by it. A smile creates happiness
in the home, fosters goodwill in business and is the
countersign of friendship.
It brings rest to the weary, cheer to the
discouraged, sunshine to the sad, and is
nature's best antidote for trouble. Yet it cannot
be brought, begged, borowed, 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 none needs a
smile so much as he who has no more to give.
