Quotes

  • A smile is the best way to get away with trouble even if it’s a fake one. Theres magic in a smile. It creates happiness in the home, fosters good will in a business, and is the countersign of friends. It is rest to the weary, daylight to the discouraged, sunshine to the sad, and Naturs best antidote for trouble. Yet it cannot be bought, begged, borrowed, or stolen, for it is something that is of no value to anyone until it is given away. Some people are too tired to give you a smile. Give them one of yours, as none needs a smile so much as he who has no more to give. ~ Unknown
  • No man can ever be a true giant until he looks beyond himself and the narrow confines of his own self-interests to the broader concerns of all humanity. ~ Martin Luther King, Jr.
