Smiling quote

The smiles of beauty are the tears of the purse.

ITALIAN PROVERB


A smile is the light in the window of your face that tells people you're home.

ANONYMOUS


There are many kinds of smiles, each having a distinct character; some announce goodness and sweetness, others betray sarcasm, bitterness, and pride; some soften the countenance by their languishing tenderness, others brighten by their spiritual vivacity. A beautiful smile is to the female countenance what the sunbeam is to the landscape; it embellishes an inferior face and redeems an ugly one.

And I'll become the girl you want to see
No, there's nothing that I can't be
If you'll just smile for me

Waned in its mirth, and wither'd to a sneer.

Smiling makes you appear more approachable. Interaction with others is easier and more enjoyable when smiles and laughs are shared, and these behaviours are contagious, making others feel better too, and make you a more appealing and attractive person to be around. This in turn will have a positive effect on your well-being.
