One must keep a few smiles aside to laugh at oneself on joyless days.

She hath smiles to earth unknown—
Smiles that with motion of their own
Do spread, and sink, and rise.William Wordsworth
There were…smiles of encouragement for Lydgate, and some smiles of sweet pity as well, as for the only leper present.
Anthony Burgess
His cleverness seems to have been confined to a highly developed instinct for self-preservation, which, however, proved in the end, inadequate, and he was hanged in Prague in 1946. In those early days in Berlin he pinned his faith to Himmler and kept fairly quiet. Throughout his dreary little career he seems never to have taken a decision of his own but always to have acted as the literal-minded and joyless administrator of the death and torture sanctioned by his superiors.
Kurt Daluege
Where Plenty smiles - alas! she smiles for few,
And those who taste not, yet behold her store,
Are as the slaves that dig the golden ore,
The wealth around them makes them doubly poor.George Crabbe
Each day will be triumphant only when your smiles bring forth smiles from others.
