Bessie-isms:

*Never argue with someone based solely on what you remember of some past event. Your memory is not a reliable witness, and the longer ago it was, the less worthy it will be.

*Adults often criticize young people for sitting and kissing instead of doing something more productive, forgetting that kissing is what helps you find your mate and the love you desperately need.

Quotable:

The man who, in a fit of melancholy, kills himself today, would have wished to live had he waited a week.

Voltaire
