""" "A SMILE

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 can get along without it,
and none is so poor
but 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 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 none needs a smile
so much as he
who has no more to give.
