If it is
"New"..how can it be improved. Old stuff can be improved. But if it's new, why
improve it! |
A Smile
A smile costs nothing, but gives much It
enriches those who receive, without making poorer those who give it It takes but a moment,
but the memory of it sometimes last forever None is so rich or mighty that he can get
along without it, none is so poor that he can be made rich by it A smile creates happiness
in the home, fosters good will in business, 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 as much as he who has no
more to give |
