Bessie-isms:

*If you awoke to find an angel or an elf sitting on your bed, who wanted you to come with them, would you be willing, or would you be too afraid? The quality of your life is much dependent on how you would answer that question…

*Do not criticize the love that grows slowly, or the one that springs up almost instantly. Both have a place in the order of life, and you can count having either as being better than having neither.

Quotable:

The way of the world is to praise dead saints and to persecute live ones.
