Bessie-isms:

*To attempt perfection, you would have to have some idea what it is. That’s a tall order for the normal, flawed human, to say the least. Choose more reasonable goals, and you’ll experience a lot more success.

*The gentle wind which can refresh you one moment can become a wicked gale, that destroys all you treasure. Enjoy the good while it lasts, but be ready to run for your life if things suddenly change for the worse.

Quotable:

If all men knew what each said of the other, there would not be four friends in the world.

Blaise Pascal
