  1. A smile doesn’t cost anything.  Give it widely and frequently.
  2. If we were all the same, there would be nothing we could give or receive from each other.  Love differences.
  3. Mercy is available to all and can be granted by anyone.  Practice mercy wisely.
  4. Hope is a powerful state of mind.  Drive actions through hope.
  5. Laughter really is the best medicine.  Laugh gregariously.
  6. No one has a monopoly on love.  Love freely.
