A smile costs nothing, but it gives much.
It enriches those who receive it without impoverishing those who give it.
It happens in a flash and memories of it may last forever.
none are so rich that they can get along without it, and none so poor that they cannot be richer for its benefits.
it creates happiness in the home, fosters goodwill in a business, and is the countersign of friends.
it is rest to the weary, daylight to the discouraged, sunshine to the sad and nature's best antidote for trouble.
yet it cannot be begged, bought, borrowed or stolen, for it is something that worth nothing to anyone until it is given away.
In the course of day, some of our acquaintances may be too tired to give you a smile.Give them one of yours.nobody needs a smile so much as those who have none left to give.
(From The Best of ....Bits and Pieces, Economic Press, Fairfield, NJ, 1994, p. 170)
