Who hath a book Hath but to read And he may be A king, indeed. His kingdom is His inglenook— All this is his Who hath a book.

The Value of a Smile

"The thing that goes the farthest

Toward making life worthwhile,

That costs the least, and does the most,

Is just a pleasant smile.

That smile that bubbles from the heart

That loves its fellowmen

Will drive away the clouds of gloom

And coax the sun again.

It pays the higher interest,

For it is merely lent,

It's worth a million dollars-

And it doesn't cost a cent."

~ Wilbur Nesbit
