She hath smiles to earth unknown—
Smiles that with motion of their own
Do spread, and sink, and rise.
--
Cancelled lines originally in the second stanza of Louisa (1805).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
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.
Og Mandino
There is a smile of love,
And there is a smile of deceit,
And there is a smile of smiles
In which these two smiles meet.William Blake
An ad that pretends to be art is — at absolute best — like somebody who smiles warmly at you only because he wants something from you. This is dishonest, but what's sinister is the cumulative effect that such dishonesty has on us: since it offers a perfect facsimile or simulacrum of goodwill without goodwill's real spirit, it messes with our heads and eventually starts upping our defenses even in cases of genuine smiles and real art and true goodwill. It makes us feel confused and lonely and impotent and angry and scared. It causes despair.
David Foster Wallace
