Bessie-isms and Quotable for August 16, 2017

Bessie-isms:

*If people worked as hard to make their souls beautiful as they do to make their body look good, what a different place the world would be.

*What did humans do with their constantly growing nails before the invention of cutting tools?

Quotable:

The ear tends to be lazy, craves the familiar and is shocked by the unexpected; the eye, on the other hand, tends to be impatient, craves the novel and is bored by repletion.

W. H. Auden
