Bessie-isms:
*Isn’t it amazing how often a device will quit working the instant you make the final payment?
*No one can betray your secret if you don’t share it with a single person.
Quotable:
Send your noble blood to market and see what it will bring you.
Thomas Fuller
Be hesitant to laugh at the mistakes of others, unless you’re prepared to be the occasional source of entertainment when you louse up. And you will.
Bessie-isms:
*Never give in to rejection. Even best selling books are usually rejected by dozens of people too blind to see what’s in front of them.
*Someone who takes and never gives is not a friend. Stop pretending they are.
Quotable:
I know nothing swifter in life than the voice of rumor.
Plautus
If we could train humans as well as we can train a horse, think how different society would be.
Bessie-isms:
*Don’t make fun of others for sniffing dirty clothes to find something less nasty to wear, especially if someone else is doing your laundry!
*Sooner or later one of your sly farts will not be just a fart. Kings and Queens, royalty and the rich all succumb sooner or later.
Quotable:
Take calculated risks. That is quite different from being rash.
George S. Patton
Who are you trying to please? Yourself or another? If you’re trying to bait a trap for another, just be aware that you may well attract someone inclined to make a meal of you.
Bessie-isms:
*When you lose something there is nothing more annoying than finding it after you’re paid money to replace it.
*If you’re going to lie to someone, have the decency to work up a creative and well thought out lie. Nothing shows you have no regard for someone than just tossing out some half-assed and pathetic lie.
Quotable:
I learned long ago never to wrestle with a pig. You get dirty and the pig likes it.
Cyrus Ching
If a family doesn’t stick together, why have one? You can probably find perfect strangers who would be less annoying.
Bessie-isms:
*Repeating a lie doesn’t make it more truthful, no matter what politicians would have you believe.
*The bigger the lie, the bigger is the optimist telling it, or the more desperate.
Quotable:
Life is to be fortified by many friendships. To love and to be loved, is the greatest happiness of existence.
Sydney Smith
Youth is that magical time when a girl can be a Princess by the application of a small bit of make up and a medium sized bit of make-believe. Later it takes much more of both!
