There's a stupid saying to the effect that "it takes X muscles to frown, but only Y muscles to smile", where Y is always smaller than X (though the actual numbers themselves vary).
The reason it's a stupid saying is that nobody really knows how "many" muscles it takes to smile or frown because the number depends on exactly how you define "muscles", "smile", and "frown". This is also part of why the numbers vary (another part of it is that the people that come up with these sorts of sayings generally have almost no idea what they're talking about, and just pull numbers out of their ... er, the air).
There's a somewhat more clever variant that ends "but it doesn't take any to just sit there with a dumb look on your face."
