a smile costs nothing yet produces a lot,
it enriches he who receives it;
without making he who gives it any poorer,
it only last an instant ,
but the memory it leaves sometimes last forever,
no one is rich enough to be able to do without one;
no one is so poor he does not merit one,
it creates happiness in the home,
it is a tangible sign of friendship,
a smile makes he who is tired rested,
gives new heart to those who are down,
it cannot be bought, nor loaned, nor stolen,
for it is a thing which has value ,
only the moment it is given ,
and if, from time to time, you should meet someone,
who no longer knows how to smile,
be generous-give him yours,
for no one quite needs a smile as much,
as he who cannot give one to others.
