Cory Booker, mayor of Newark, N.J., tells you to smile — for the sake of those around you.
Live your joy because you never realize how many people are leaning on your smile.
And this one from his Thanksgiving day tweets was sublime:
Be kind to one another. We are all more fragile than we let on.
Lastly, here are some from author and economist Umair Haque that should keep you thinking:
