The Value of a Smile

It costs nothing, but gives much.

It enriches those who receive without making poorer those who give.

It takes but a moment, yet the memory of it sometimes lasts forever.

None of us is so rich or mighty that he can get along without it, and none is so poor that he cannot be rich by it.

A smile creates happiness in the home, fosters good will 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 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 a smile.

Give one of yours
As none needs a smiles so much as
He who has no more to give.
