Bessie-isms:

*The reason most people fail is because the quit after one defeat. Those who succeed are the ones who can view a hundred failures as just batting practice, and remain eager to do more.

*Understand that most people, while they may say they care about you, are not much inclined to bleed to prove it.

Quotable:

In the human heart new passions are forever being born; the overthrow of one almost always means the rise of another.

La Rochefoucauld
