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

Yesterday is gone. Tomorrow has not yet come. We have only today. Let us begin.

Kind words can be short and easy to speak but their echoes are truly endless.

We can do no great things, only small things with great love.

Peace begins with a smile.

Not all of us can do great things. But we can do small things with great love.

Be kind and merciful. Let no one ever come to you without leaving better and happier.

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