Good better best,
never let it rest,
till the good is better
and the better best.

Frederick William FABER, english theologian and poet (1814 - 1863) wrote:

A smile costs nothing, but creates much.
It enriches those who receive without impoverishing those who give.
It happens in a flash and the memory of it sometimes lasts forever.
None are so rich they can get along without it,
and none so poor they cannot offer it,
but both are richer for its benefits.
It creates happiness in the home,
fosters good will in a business
and is the counter-sign of friends.
It is rest to the weary,
daylight to the discouraged,
sunshine to the sad,
and nature best antidote for trouble.
Yet, it cannot be bought,
begged,
borrowed
or stolen,
for it is something that is no earthly good to anybody until it is given away.
Nobody needs a smile so much as those who have none left to give.
