• Happiness is a myth we seek,
  If manifested surely irks;
  Like river speeding to the plain,
  On its arrival slows and murks.
  For man is happy only in
  His aspiration to the heights;
  When he attains his goal, he cools
  And longs for other distant flights.

• The value of a smile... It costs nothing, but creates much. It enriches those who receive, without impoverishing those who give. It happens in a flash and the memory of it sometimes lasts forever. None are so rich they can get along without it, and none so poor but are richer for its benefits. It creates happiness in the home, fosters good will in a business, and is the countersign of friends.
