Bessie-isms:

*An opportunity not taken is lost. You lose them by the dozen each day, while you sit complaining about what you lack. Open your eyes and seize some of them that are parading past you each day!

*If you would dwell upon anything from the past, reflect on the dreams you once had, and see which are worthy of new effort.

Quotable:

We have just enough religion to make us hate, but not enough to make us love one another.

Jonathan Swift
