Small things can make a big difference – even the most fleeting of events can have far reaching consequences. You just never know the effect that your actions will have on others, even the little things that you do.

I just read a tweet by someone who likes my blog. They might not even know I read it, but at the end of a long day it really made me feel good. It made me want to write this post.

The world is in dire straights. You smiling at people won’t stop wars or end global warming, but it will most likely make someone’s day.

And there can’t be anything wrong with that.

People seldom notice old clothes if you wear a big smile.
– Lee Mildon

A smile is an inexpensive way to change your looks.
– Charles Gordy

Wrinkles should merely indicate where smiles have been.
– Mark Twain

Wear a smile and have friends; wear a scowl and have wrinkles.
– George Eliot

All the statistics in the world can’t measure the warmth of a smile.
– Chris Hart

Peace begins with a smile.
– Mother Teresa
