People say "A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words" when they refer to the idea that complex stories can be described with just a single still image.
Despite this modern origin of the popular phrase, the sentiment has been expressed by earlier writers.
"A picture shows me at a glance what it takes dozens of pages of a book to expound." (Ivan Turgenev) or even by Napoleon Bonaparte who said "Un bon croquis vaut mieux qu'un long discours" which means "A good sketch is better than a long speech".
The Chinese have their own version "1001 words is worth more than a picture", well they're Chinese so....they also think they are the heirs of the world.
And now i ask you all, What about a smile? Is it worth a thousand pictures? Or is it something more deeper?
Don't bother to answer if you're Chinese.
