Question

mine is a smile costs nothing:


Give a smile away.....



A smile costs nothing, but gives much.
It enriches them who receive, with out making poorer them who give.
It takes a moment, yet the memory may last forever.
A smile may bring happiness to the home, fosters goodwill in business, and is a sign of friendship.
It brings rest to the weary, cheer to the discouraged, sunshine to the sad, and is nature’s best antidote to trouble.
Yet a smile cannot be bought, begged , borrowed, or stolen; for it is something of no value to any one, unless it is given away.
Some people are too tired to give you a smile.
Give them one of yours.
No one needs a smile so much as he who has none to give.

INVICTUS

Answer 2

BECAUSE I could not stop for Death,
He kindly stopped for me;
The carriage held but just ourselves
And Immortality.

We slowly drove, he knew no haste,
And I had put away
My labor, and my leisure too,
For his civility.

We passed the school where children played
At wrestling in a ring;
We passed the fields of gazing grain,
We passed the setting sun.

We paused before a house that seemed
A swelling of the ground;
The roof was scarcely visible,
The cornice but a mound.

Since then ’t is centuries; but each
Feels shorter than the day
I first surmised the horses’ heads
Were toward eternity.

~Emily Dickinson

Answer 3

The Thousandth Man, by Rudyard Kipling

"One man in a thousand, Solomon says,
will stick more close than a brother.
And its worth seeking him half your days
if you find him before the other...

...but the Thousandth Man will stick by your side
to the gallows-foot--and after!"

Answer 4

" To see a world in a grain of sand
And heaven in a wild flower
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand
And eternity in an hour."
