A Smile Costs Nothing

 
A SMILE COST NOTHING.
BUT GIVES MUCH, IT ENRICHES THOSE
WHO RECEIVE, WITHOUT MAKING POORER THOSE
WHO GIVE. IT TAKES BUT A MOMENT, BUT
THE MEMORY OF IT SOMETIMES LASTS FOR EVER.
NONE IS SO RICH OR MIGHTY THAT HE CAN
GET ALONG WITHOUT IT AND NONE OF US SO POOR
BUT THAT HE CAN BE MADE RICH BY IT.
A SMILE CREATES HAPPINESS IN THE HOME,
FOSTERS GOODWILL IN BUSINESS AND IN THE
COUNTERSIGN OF FRIENDSHIP. IT BRINGS
REST TO THE WEARY, CHEER TO THE DISCOURAGED
SUNSHINE TO THE SAD AND IT IS NATURES 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.
