A smile is a powerful tool. When someone smiles at you, it immediately says you are welcomed in their space, and that they want to interact with you.

The smile of her I love is like the dawn
Whose touch makes Memnon sing:
O see where wide the golden sunlight flows--
The barren desert blossoms as the rose!

When he smiles it's as if you'd just told him the first joke on earth.

MITCH ALBOM

He smiled like he couldn't help it. She couldn't believe it. He was actually smiling, teeth and all. Had she ever seen him smile before? No, she realized, because right now, it was such a jarring thing to witness that for a moment it felt as though she was sharing the car with a stranger.

ENGLISH PROVERB

Tags: English proverbs


'Tis easy enough to be pleasant,
When life flows along like a song;
But the man worth while is the one who will smile
When everything goes dead wrong;
For the test of the heart is trouble,
And it always comes with the years,
But the smile that is worth the praise of earth
Is the smile that comes through tears.

Powder your face with sunshine, put on a great big smile
Make up your eyes with laughter
Folks will be laughing with you, in a little while
Whistle a tune of gladness, blue never was in style
The future's brighter when hearts are lighter
So smile, smile, smile

Celestial rosy red, love's proper hue.

AMERICAN PROVERB


More than anything, smiling is used to convey social information. Sexual advertisement is one of its main functions. Every flirt starts with a smile, and smiling to someone is one of the simplest and more effective ways of telling someone you find them appealing.

MIHAI ANDREI

"According to scientists, these are the three kinds of smile", ZME Science, July 31, 2017


We human beings are very proud of being the only animals that can smile. And yet we don't show a very proper appreciation of our gift. Though we may realize its magical qualities, we often fail at the critical moment to use them. For example, we may know that when we have to choose between smiling and frowning the consequences will greatly affect our own peace of mind. If we frown we shall be further involved in trouble. If we smile we may obviate the trouble.
