Bessie-isms:
*There is little you can do to improve the mood of another who wishes to be miserable, and even less that can be done to make someone love you who is disinclined.
*One of the tragedies of adulthood is discovering that the toys you threw away are now valuable as collectables.
Quotable:
Enemies publish themselves. They declare war. The friend never declares his love.
Henry David Thoreau
If only the human skunks would come distinctly marked and easy to notice.
Bessie-isms:
*Some great loves start slowly as a small liking between friends. Other times the least touch starts a consuming conflagration that burns with the heat of the sun.
*Strive to avoid being late. Being late, especially when meeting another suggests you don’t value their time, or respect them.
Quotable:
How much have cost us the evils that never happened!
Thomas Jefferson

*Before you buy a bigger house, look sharply at what you need to get rid of.
Quotable:
It is better to deserve honours and not have them than to have them and not deserve them.

Quotable:
The government is concerned about the population expolsion, and the population is concerned about the government explosion.

Like a dead tree, a human can stand for a time even though their soul has died, but there will be no life or vitality shown.
Bessie-isms:
*”Clean your plate – children are starving in China” may be the single biggest contributor to obesity. Don’t keep eating when you are no longer hungry.
*The sun seems to warm us on even the coldest of days. Overcast, cloudy days just seem colder.
Quotable:
Don’t carry a grudge. While you’re carrying the grudge, the other guy is out dancing.
Buddy Hackett
Be careful what you try to turn into something it is not.
