Share on LinkedIn Share on Whatsapp Share on Telegram Betty Smith Quote - Yet, what little things can make it up; a place of shelter when it rains – a cup of strong hot coffee when you’re blue; for a man, a cigarette for contentment; a book to read when you’re alone – just to be with someone you love.
