2300 years ago, the Greek Philosopher Epicurus declared:

Happiness is man's greatest aim in life. Tranquility and rationality are the cornerstones of happiness --- BUT


2300 years later, we are still searching for tranquility.

Only recently has man developed the mental tools and the knowledge to achieve lasting happiness in the spirit of Epicurus.

A Smile



A Smile Costs Nothing,

but gives much.

It enriches those who receive

without making poorer those who give.

It takes but a moment

but the memory of it sometimes lasts forever.

None is so rich and mighty that he can get along without it,

and none is so poor that he cannot be made rich by it.



A Smile creates happiness in the home,

fosters goodwill in business,

and is the countersign of friendship.

A smile brings rest to the weary,

cheer to the discouraged, sunshine to the sad,

and it is nature's best antidote for trouble.



Yet it cannot be bought, begged, borrowed or stolen,

for it is something that is of no value to anyone

until it is given away.



Some people are too tired to give you a smile,

Give them one of yours,

as none needs a smile so much

as he who has no more to give.
