Bessie-isms:
*Our terrorist enemies denounce us as godless infidels. Go watch TV, see Springer, Povich, MTV, most movies, and then try to argue that we aren’t? Not so easy, is it?
*Receiving things you haven’t earned will ruin you, unless it is undeserved love and kindness.
Quotable:
Laziness grows on people; it begins in cobwebs and ends in iron chains.
Thomas Fowell Buxton
Bessie-isms:
*Indecision is a curse! Be bold! Make the choice! If it turns out bad later, change direction, and tell everyone you got a new, better inspiration!
*Laziness has no reward and much punishment, yet countless people choose it because it seems easier up front.
Quotable:
Wherever the art of medicine is loved, there also is love of humanity.
Hippocrates
Bessie-isms:
*A woman who is confident and self assured will make a man nervous, but he will desire her as he does no other.
*To possess the least sliver of hope, is to keep despair at bay. Only when the last tiny vestige of hope is gone, can despair enter in.
Quotable:
It takes your enemy and your friend, working together to hurt you to the heart; the one to slander you, and the other to get the news to you.
Mark Twain
Bessie-isms:
*The finest gift, one most highly appreciated is one chosen from intimate knowledge of the recipient, chosen to be highly personal and appropriate. However, cash runs a close second, it never ends up on a closet shelf!
*Only a person with time to kill will stoop to gossiping. Apparently we aren’t nearly busy enough, with useful tasks, are we?
Quotable:
The injury we do to others, and the one we suffer are not weighed in the same scales.
Aesop
Bessie-isms:
*If you wish to know which friends are worth keeping, try being honest with them about who you really are. If they don’t run away, they might be good for the long term.
*When you battle evil there can be no peace until the evil is defeated. You can never negotiate with evil, and find peace. Peace comes only when evil is completely destroyed. Kill it, don’t try to hug it.
Quotable:
The empty vessel makes the greatest sound.
William Shakespear
Bessie-isms:
*Ever notice that those most inclined to ignore and disavow God seem to have no so trouble embracing and serving the devil?
*A man may be reluctant to become a husband, but usually has much less hesitation becoming an ex-husband with a bit of practice.
Quotable:
The heart has its reasons which reason does not know.
Blaise Pascal
Bessie-isms:
*Whether you desire the same or the opposite sex, understand this; you are not complete without another to love.
*How can you respect someone who is so weak of will that your pathetic arguments might cause them to abandon their sincere beliefs and positions?
Quotable:
Very often the only thing that comes between a charming man and a charming woman is the fact that they are married to each other.
Gaston Caillavert
Bessie-isms:
*Everyone has been lonely at some time. So why are so terrible at recognizing that sad feeling in others?
*Your smile is a powerful thing. If you smile widely at strangers, most will turn and look after you, wondering what you know or what you’re up to.
Quotable:
Restlessness and discontent are the first necessities of progress.
Thomas Edison
Bessie-isms:
*Ladies, do not cry over your physical imperfections, real or imagined. No woman has ever been loved solely for her beauty.
*Never pass up a chance to learn new things. God is fond of rearranging your life when you get to comfortable, and you never know what will be useful later!
Quotable:
You can take better care of your secret than another can.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Bessie-isms:
*Ladies, never ask a man if he thinks your butt is too big. As long as you share it eagerly, he’ll be happy. If you criticize it constantly, he’ll start to dislike it too!
*You constantly put off calling friends, saying I love you to someone dear. Why? Any moment it might be too late. Time waits for no one!
Quotable:
If a man thinks about his physical or moral state, he usually discovers that he is ill.
Johann Goethe
