Fortune Comes To Those Who Smile

笑う門には福来る (warau kado ni wa fuku kitaru)

笑う門には福来る (warau kado ni wa fuku kitaru) is a well-loved Japanese proverb, "good fortune comes to the home that laughs." It joins 笑う門 (warau kado) "the gate, the household, that laughs," 福 (fuku) "good fortune," and 来る (kitaru) "comes." Keep laughter in the house and blessings follow.
