A smile costs nothing, but saves much.

　　It enriches those who receive, without impoverishing those who give.

　　It happens in a flash, but the memory of it lasts forever.

　　None is so rich that he can get along without it; none so poor that he is not enriched by it.

　　It creates happiness in the home, fosters good will in business, and is the countersign of friends.

　　It is rest to the weary, daylight to the discouraged, sunshine to the sick, and nature's best antidote for trouble.

　　It cannot be bought, borrowed, or stolen, for it is no earthly good to anyone until it is given away.

　　If you meet someone too burdened with grief or worry to smile, just give him one of yours.

　　微笑

　　微笑不需要花一分钱,但却能带来很多。

　　它使那些得到它的人富有,却不会使付出它的人贫穷。

　　它发生在一瞬间,但它的记忆却是永恒的。

　　如果人们生活可以没有微笑,那么,无论拥有什么都会觉得贫穷。如果人们无法因此而丰富,那就没有什么比这更贫穷的了。

　　微笑为家庭带来欢乐,为工作增添善意,是友谊的象征。

　　它可以缓解疲劳,是赢得信心的白昼,是医治疾病的阳光,是自然界中战胜困难的灵丹妙药。

　　它不能买,不能借,也不能偷,因为在它被给予他人之前是毫无用处的。

　　如果你遇到某人被悲伤和焦虑压得喘不过气来,只要给他一个微笑就足以给他安慰。
