True humor springs not more from the head than from the heart. It is not contempt its essence is love. It issues not in laughter but in still smiles which lie far deeper.

Ah Hope! what would life be stripped of thy encouraging smiles that teach us to look behind the dark clouds of today for the golden beams that are to gild the morrow.

Life is made up not of great sacrifices or duties but of little things in which smiles and kindness and small obligations given habitually are what preserve the heart and secure comfort.

Smiles form the channels of a future tear.

As soon as men know that they can kill without fear of punishment or blame they kill or at least they encourage killers with approving smiles.

Smiles tears of all my life! - and if God choose I shall but love thee better after death.

The beauty we love is very silent. It smiles softly to itself but never speaks.

I learned the truth at seventeen That love was meant for beauty queens And high school girls with clear skinned smiles Who married young and then retired.

Smiles come naturally to me but I started thinking of them as an art form at my command. I studied all the time. I looked at magazines I'd practice in front of the mirror and I'd ask photographers about the best angles. I can now pull out a smile at will.

Wrinkles should merely indicate where smiles have been.
