A Smile Cost Nothing

A smile costs nothing, but creates much. It enriches those who receive it without impoverishing those who give it. It happens in a flash and the memory of it sometimes last forever. None are so rich and none so poor that they can get along without it, but both are richer for its benefits.

It creates happiness in the home, fosters good will 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 bought, begged, borrowed or stolen, for it is something that’s no earthly good to anybody until it is given away.

Nobody needs a smile so much as those who have none left to give. Remember that the longest word in the English language is “smiles”, there’s a mile between the S’s.
