Bessie-isms:

*If you expect people to cater to you, you are doomed to be disappointed. Most humans can’t even manage to take care of themselves, let alone another, like you.

*Humans are the only animal that won’t escape even when there’s no door on their cage, preferring habit to the insecurity of freedom.

Quotable:

The first rule is to keep an untroubled spirit. The second is to look things in the face and know them for what they are.

Marcus Aurelius
