Quote of the day by Mother Teresa , “Peace begins with a smile,” presents peace as something that can begin through a simple human action. The quote connects a smile with kindness, connection and goodwill. It suggests that people do not always need to wait for large changes before they can contribute to peace. A kind expression can be a first step in reducing tension between people. Mother Teresa spent much of her life working with people who were poor, sick, abandoned or facing death. Her work through the Missionaries of Charity made service and personal contact central to her public life. She received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1979 and was canonized in 2016.
