Bessie-isms:

*Avoid worshiping fools! Whether they are rich, talented, or seem charming, their inability to be competent humans will be obvious, and a good reason to shun them.

*Parting from someone you love is hard. Parting from someone you despise is a lot easier,  but can be a challenge if you want or need to pretend you’ll miss them.

Quotable:

We can be knowledgeable with other men’s knowledge, but we can not be wise with other men’s wisdom.

Michel de Montaigne
