 Just sharing this lovely and a precious comment : 

Bhawana, I am still laughing from yesterday. It dont take much to make me happy, but between your book cover and another joke I read on someone else,s page. I have laughed more than I have since my birthday. Thanks

A smile costs nothing, but gives much.
It enriches those who receive,
without making poorer those who give.

very true
Marie J. R. Nov 16, 2007, 4:12pm EST
a smile is the crack above your chin which goes right to left at the same time,,,

A smile is shorthand for :" I am joyful for this day, for this life,for this world."

A smile creates happiness in the home,
fosters good will in business,
and is the countersign of friendship

A smile starts on the lips, A grin spreads to the eyes, A chuckle comes from the belly; But a good laugh bursts forth from the soul, Overflows, and bubbles all around

Smiling can be caused by a kind word from someone. Smiling can be caused by looking at a picture of a loved one.
Donald M. Nov 16, 2007, 5:09pm EST

A smile is more than enough to lift a shoulder,
wipe a tear,
melt a heart,
or bring some cheer.
A person without a heart
cannot live a life,
A person without a smile
will not be fit to live his life..

I guess we all needs smiles - and you got miles of them here for us to read.

Bhawana - WOW! Sorry that I got here so late but went out for dinner and cocktails last night and didn't get in until late. So here is my smile quote from one of my all time
favorites authors:

Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.

Leo F. Buscaglia

Smile and smile again my friends! ;)
Smile a while and give your face a rest.

It takes less muscles to smile than it does to frown.

When I see a smile in a person's eyes or in his/her writing I look up and say God I think that this is what You had in mind when you created us.
amarpreet k. Nov 17, 2007, 7:06am EST
wow !! what a post ...I liked the quote you posted and then there was this thread of quotes and wonderful contributions from all ..
I love " smile at the one who don't smile at all...coz he needs it the most "
Bhawana I was so right when I said " you spread smiles all over "
elizabeth e. Nov 17, 2007, 7:40am EST
Within the smile
hidden deep
Is the reflection
Of the Spirit within.

The spirit shines forth
Reflecting the love
of our Creator to our
friends here and abroad.

I don't have any great lines or quotes about smiles I'm afraid. I think yours is the best, my favorite, that I have heard. But I have heard some lines down here in the south that make me smile every time I even think about them. Now, you have to image a VERY southern accent for this to work, ready?
