Powder your face with sunshine, put on a great big smile
Make up your eyes with laughter
Folks will be laughing with you, in a little while
Whistle a tune of gladness, blue never was in style
The future's brighter when hearts are lighter
So smile, smile, smile

DEAN MARTIN

"Powder Your Face With Sunshine"


He continues to smile expectantly. I take a step back. I don't want to catch whatever he has.

AUGUSTEN BURROUGHS

Dry: A Memoir


There are hours in life when a smile pains us more than a thousand tears and reproaches would have done.

EMIL CARLEN

attributed, Day's Collacon


A smile is a powerful tool. When someone smiles at you, it immediately says you are welcomed in their space, and that they want to interact with you.

MICHELE PHILLIPS

Happiness is a Habit


For smiling, to do good, either to those who smile or to those who look on, must convey kindly feeling. There are those whose smiles are almost terrifying. They can express many kinds of ill feeling, including dislike, resentment, suspicion, cruelty. Then there are smiles that are puzzling, that sometimes create uneasiness. These smiles are often called "enigmatical." The smile on the face of the Mona Lisa is of this kind. It makes some people uncomfortable. And we all know the truth of Shakespeare's saying that a man may smile and smile and be a villain still. And yet we all believe that this kind of smiling is sure to betray itself. In it there can't be anything wholesome, anything that would help to uplift the spirit.

JOHN DANIEL BARRY

"Smiling", Intimations


Peace begins with a smile--smile five times a day at someone you don't really want to smile at at all--do it for peace.

Whose touch makes Memnon sing:
O see where wide the golden sunlight flows--
The barren desert blossoms as the rose!

20,000 Quips & Quotes


'Tis easy enough to be pleasant,
When life flows along like a song;
But the man worth while is the one who will smile
When everything goes dead wrong;
For the test of the heart is trouble,
And it always comes with the years,
But the smile that is worth the praise of earth
Is the smile that comes through tears.

She had a very agreeable smile; it did not light up her face suddenly, but seemed rather to suffuse it by degrees with charm. It hesitated for a moment about her lips and then slowly travelled to those great shining eyes of hers and there softly lingered.

A smile is worth its face value.

AMERICAN PROVERB


I've squandered smiles today,
And, strange to say,
Altho' my frowns with care I've stowed away,
Tonight I'm poorer far in frowns than at the start;
While in my heart,
Wherein my treasures best I store,
I find my smiles increased by several score.
