Bessie-isms:

*Young people marry for love and sex. Middle aged people marry for sex and security. Old people marry because they can’t remember why they shouldn’t!

*Middle age is a vexing time. You’re too old to use youth and inexperience as an excuse for being stupid, and too young to use old age for an excuse either!

Quotable:

Happy the man, and happy he alone, who can call this day his own; He who is secure within can say, tomorrow do thy worst, for I have lived today.

John Dryden
