Quotes about Smile


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

Susanna Moodie

We never respect those who amuse us, however we may smile at their comic powers.

Marguerite Gardiner

A man I knew who lived upon a smile, And well it fed him; he look'd plump and fair, While rankest venom foam'd through every vein.

Edward Young

On the cold cheek of Death smiles and roses are blending, And beauty immortal awakes from the tomb.

James Beattie

. . . but while I breathe Heaven's air, and Heaven looks down on me, And smiles at my best meanings, I remain Mistress of mine own self and mine own soul.

Lord Alfred Tennyson

Where'er his fancy bids him roam, In ev'ry Inn he finds a home-- . . . . Will not an Inn his cares beguile, Where on each face he sees a smile?

William Combe (Coombe)

May you find serenity and tranquility in a world you may not always understand. May the pain you have known and the conflict you have experienced give you the strength to walk through life facing each new situation with courage and optimism. Always know that there are those whose love and understanding will always be there, even when you feel most alone. May you discover enough goodness in others to believe in a world of peace. May a kind word, a reassuring touch, and a warm smile be yours every day of your life, and may you give these gifts as well as receive them. Remember the sunshine when the storm seems unending. Teach love to those who hate, and let that love embrace you as you go out into the world. May the teachings of those you admire become part of you, so that you may call upon them. Remember, those whose lives you have touched and whose have touched yours are always a part of you, even if the encounters were less than you would have wished. It is the content of the encounter that is more important than the form. May you not become too concerned with material matters, but instead place immeasurable value on the goodness in your heart. Find time each day to see beauty and love in the world around you. Realize that each person has limitless abilities, but each of us is different in our own way. What you feel you lack in the present may become one of your strengths in the future. May you see your future as one filled with promise and possibility. Learn to view everything as a worthwhile experience. May you find enough inner strength to determine your own worth by yourself, and not be dependent on another's judgment of your accomplishments. May you always feel loved. -Unknown.

Albert Unknown

There's a dear little plant that grows in our isle, 'Twas St. Patrick himself sure that set it; And the sun on his labor with pleasure did smile, And with dew from his eye often wet it. It thrives through the bog, through the brake, and the mireland; And he called it the dear little shamrock of Ireland-- The sweet little shamrock, the dear little shamrock, The sweet little, green little, shamrock of Ireland!

Andrew Cherry

Beautiful isle of the sea, Smile on the brow of the waters.

George Cooper (1)

A good wife is heaven's last, best gift to man, - his gem of many virtues, his casket of jewels; her voice is sweet music, her smiles his brightest day, her kiss the guardian of his innocence, her arms the pale of his safety...

Jeremy Taylor

Sometimes your joy is the source of your smile, but sometimes your smile can be the source of your joy. Theodore Roethke -Thich Nhat Hanh.

Thich Nhat Hanh

So comes a reck'ning when the banquet's o'er, The dreadful reckn'ning, and men smile no more.

John Gay

The vulgar only laugh, but never smile; whereas well-bred people often smile, but seldom laugh.

Philip Dormer Stanhope, fourth Earl of Chesterfield

What I saw was equal ecstasy: One universal smile it seemed of all things. [It., Cio ch'io vedeva mi sembrava un riso Dell's universo.]

Dante ("Dante Alighieri")

I am the laughter of the new-born child On whose soft-breathing sleep an angel smiled.

Richard Watson Gilder

We sometimes laugh from ear to ear, but it would be impossible for a smile to be wider than the distance between our eyes.

Kurt Vonnegut, Chazal

What is this life if, full of care, We have no time to stand and stare. No time to stand beneath the boughs And stare as long as sheep or cows. No time to see, when woods we pass, Where squirrels hide their nuts in grass. No time to see, in broad daylight, Streams full of stars, like skies at night. No time to turn at Beauty's glance, And watch her feet, how they can dance. No time to wait till her mouth can Enrich that smile her eyes began. A poor life this if, full of care, We have no time to stand and stare.

William Henry Davies

Life is made up of sobs, sniffles, and smiles, with sniffles predominating.

O. Henry

Don't cry because its over, smile because it happened. -Unknown.

Paul Unknown

But those that understood him smiled at one another and shook their heads; but for mine own part, if was Greek to me.

William Shakespeare

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways. I love thee to the depth and breadth and height My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight For the ends of Being and ideal Grace. I love thee to the level of everyday's Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light. I love thee freely, as men strive for Right; I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise. I love thee with the passion put to use In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith. I love thee with a love I seemed to lose With my lost saints, -I love thee with the breath, Smiles, tears, of all my life! - and, if God choose, I shall but love thee better after death.

Elizabeth Barrett Browning

Man,--whose heaven-erected face The smiles of love adorn,-- Man's inhumanity to man Makes countless thousands mourn!

Robert Burns

Marrying for love may be a bit risky, but it is so honest that God can't help but smile on it.

Josh Billings

How the Doctor's brow should smile, Crown'd with wreaths of camomile.

Michael Eyquen de Montaigne

Smile, damn it !! Smile.

Dame Sybil Hathaway
