Bessie-isms:

*There’s a name for people who give nothing to family and friends, but still expect to have their own birthdays, anniversaries and other life events noted and rewarded: Fools.

* We want people to notice us, but few will smile if someone pats their bottom admiringly in passing. Our need for affirmation has many strings attached, and lots of rules.

Quotable:

Most men’s anger about religion is as if two men should quarrel for a lady they neither of them care for.

Lord Halifax
