Bessie-isms:

*Dreamers are often ridiculed, but they are essential to move a society forward. The ones who don’t know how or refuse to dream may do much honest work, but they will never discover the possibilities of life.

*Worrying about the future is not productive; worrying over the past is simply stupid.

Quotable:

He was so benevolent, so merciful a man that he would have held an umbrella over a duck in a shower of rain.

Douglas Jerrold
