Bessie-isms:

*Children are always on fire, eager for the next day, the next week month or year. You are an adult when you are too busy to note the passage of time. You are old when you sense it rushing by too fast, and wish you could find a way to slow it down!

* When you are miserable, you want everyone to share in it. But do you share your joy as well, or do you hide it, afraid someone will try to steal it?

Quotable:

Trust the instinct to the end, though you can render no reason.

Ralph Waldo Emerson
