Smiles

When a man is borne down with trouble, when he is perplexed with care and difficulty, if he can meet a smile instead of an argument or a murmur—if he can meet with mildness, it will calm down his soul and soothe his feelings; when the mind is going to despair, it needs a solace of affection and kindness. – Joseph Smith, “History of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints,” 7 vols. 4:606-7
