Bessie-isms:
*A cluttered house may be annoying, but a cluttered mind is a lot more of a liability.
*Trust is hard to build, but easy to ruin. One small act, one tiny lie, can be the death of it.
Quotable:
Books are the ships which pass through the vast seas of time.
Francis Bacon
We dream of walking hand in hand along the shore, not sitting at the table paying bills or arguing over chores, but we do a lot more of the latter than the former when we’re married.
Bessie-isms:
*The saddest fact of life is this; by the time you actually encounter real, deep and soul touching love, you are probably going to be too scared to even notice it.
*Leftover relationships are no more thrilling than leftovers from last week’s dinner; learn to toss out the old!
Quotable:
A good book contains more real wealth than a good bank.
Roy L. Smith
Your cat doesn’t dream of catching mice; your cat dreams of tormenting you when cats finally rule the world. You don’t know much about cats, do you?
Bessie-isms:
*Mistakes are never made better by repeatedly practicing them, although many seem to think so.
*A woman is mostly beautiful in proportion to how strongly she believes she is.
Quotable:
Don’t talk about yourself; it will be done when you leave.
Addison Mitzner
A woman would be well advised to not let a short skirt suggest that’s she’s short of or lacking in morals or virtues. Unless she wants to declare that! Just avoid the accidental proclamation.
Bessie-isms:
*Understand that not everyone who cries and moans is a victim; often they’re only a victim of their own poor life choices and foolishness.
*If you would open any door, first open the door to your own heart.
Quotable.:
He thinks by infection, catching an opinion like a cold.
John Ruskin
Never imagine that God would find the prayers of the self-appointed righteous more sincere and worthy than those of the worst sinner, who has nothing left, no hope, but in desperation bends their knee. We earn our wings the hard way, and not because we think we deserve them.
Bessie-isms:
*It is amazing how often humans act like their pets, pushy and eager to have attention and be petted. The tragedy is how little of this they are likely to receive, compared to their animals.
*If people were as inclined to dream as they are to lie, humanity would have long ago reached the stars.
Quotable:
There is always something about your success that displeases even your best friends.
Oscar Wilde
Just as success is its own reward, excess tends to be its own punishment. Remember that.
