One thing that one notices when the sun comes out in Seattle is that there are more people with smiles. Of course, a smile is good rain or shine, but there are definitely more smiles during sunny days. A smile can bring a sunny day to a face that telegraphs they are in the midst of a gray day. Smiles are free. Today’s deposit into the ‘Joy Jar’ are smiles.
True humor springs not more from the head than from the heart. It is not contempt; its essence is love. It issues not in laughter, but in still smiles, which lie far deeper.
Thomas Carlyle
A kind heart is a fountain of gladness, making everything in its vicinity freshen into smiles.
Washington Irving
Most smiles are started by another smile.
Frank A. Clark
A smile confuses an approaching frown.
Unknown
People seldom notice old clothes if you wear a big smile.
Lee Mildon
A smile is a curve that sets everything straight.
Phyllis Diller
What sunshine is to flowers, smiles are to humanity. These are but trifles, to be sure; but scattered along life’s pathway, the good they do is inconceivable.
Joseph Addison
