Friendliness Quotes

Each time a person passes by you and you say 'hello', imagine that person turning into a candle. The more positivity, love and light you reflect, the more light is mirrored your way.

Every time you say hello to a stranger, your heart acknowledges over and over again that we are all family.

You have been blessed with all of the above, and that makes you worth getting to know in my book.
