Bessie-isms:

*A person who makes a habit of gazing at the stars will never lack for beauty, or the urge to dream.

*Humans lose sight of what is valuable. To a man dying of thirst, cool clear water is more beloved and valuable that a million dollar bottle of wine.

Quotable:

The leaders of the French Revolution excited the poor against the rich; this made the rich poor, but it never made the poor rich.
