“After every storm the sun will smile; for every problem there is a solution, and the soul's indefeasible duty is to be of good cheer “ - William R. Alger

The first Friday of October each year marks World Smile Day, a day to do one act of kindness and make someone crack a smile!

The day was founded in 1999 by Harvey Ball, creator of the now famous yellow smiley face.

He organized the day to recognize that a smile knows no religion or politics and that we should all spread a little happiness. And after all, it doesn't take much effort to smile!

We take a look at some of the beautiful smiles of our stars and politicians. Click 'Photos' for more pictures.
