I love to focus on smiles … and I’ve been having lots of fun lately with spontaneous smileys and Share a Smile!

Best Smile Quotes

Here are some of my favorite smile quotes:

 “If someone is too tired to give you a smile, leave one of your own, because no one needs a smile as much as those who have none to give.” Rabbi Samson Raphael Hirsch

“Today, give a stranger one of your smiles.  It might be the only sunshine he sees all day.” Quoted in P.S. I Love You, compiled by H. Jackson Brown, Jr.

 “A kind heart is a fountain of gladness, making everything in its vicinity freshen into smiles.” Washington Irving

“What sunshine is to flowers, smiles are to humanity. These are but trifles, to be sure; but, scattered along life’s pathway, the good they do is inconceivable.” Joseph Addison

“Few things in the world are more powerful than a positive push. A smile. A word of optimism and hope. And you can do it when things are tough.” Richard M DeVos

“A child regards your cheery smile as evidence that you are on his side, so he relaxes and is happier.” George W. Crane 

“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 Buscaglia

“Gratitude is something of which none of us can give too much. For on the smiles, the thanks we give, our little gestures of appreciation, our neighbors build their philosophy of life.” A.J. Cronin

“A genuine, affectionate smile is very important in our day to day lives.” The Dalai Lama

“Smile at each other, smile at your wife, smile at your husband, smile at your children, smile at each other – it doesn’t matter who it is – and that will help you to grow up in greater love for each other.” Mother Teresa

“Every time you smile at someone, it is an action of love, a gift to that person, a beautiful thing.” Mother Teresa

 “Peace begins with a smile.” Mother Teresa

“Let us always meet each other with smile, for the smile is the beginning of love.” Mother Teresa

“Because of your smile, you make life more beautiful.” Thich Nhat Hanh

“Sometimes your joy is the source of your smile, but sometimes your smile can be the source of your joy.” Thich Nhat Hanh

“A warm smile is the universal language of kindness.” William Arthur Ward

“A smile is the universal welcome.” Max Eastman

“Everyone smiles in the same language.” Unknown

“Smile and the world smiles with you.” Unknown

“A smile is a curve that sets everything straight.” Phyllis Diller

“The shortest distance between two people is a smile.” Unknown

 “A friendly look, a kindly smile, one good act, and life’s worthwhile.” Unknown

 “I have never seen a smiling face that was not beautiful.” Unknown 

“A smile can brighten the darkest day.” Unknown

 “Smiling is my favorite exercise.”  Unknown

“A winning smile makes winners of us all.” Unknown

“Everywhere you go, take a smile with you.” Sasha Azevedo

“And smile, smile, smile.” George Asaf

 “Life is like a mirror, we get the best results when we smile at it.” Unknown

“You’re never fully dressed without a smile.” from Annie, Lyrics by Martin Charnin

“If you don’t have a smile, I’ll give you one of mine.” Unknown

    Smiling can alleviate pain and suffering. Have you tried smiling to a stranger before? I made an experiment and surprisingly, all strangers responded positively.
