Bessie-isms:

*No one wishes to suffer form a common illness. If you have to be miserable, you’d at least like to have something more rare than what plagues everyone else. Assuming it is treatable and not fatal!

*Ingratitude in a child is galling, but if it’s your own child, the real disturbing part is knowing you are the one responsible for them ending up this way!

Quotable:

If we had no faults we should not take so much pleasure in noting those of others.

Duc de La Rochefoucauld
