Bessie-isms:

*An optimist is a man who thinks his wife will never find out about his young mistress. A foolish optimist is a man who believes she might find out, but won’t mind all that much!

*A philanthropist is a person who accumulates great wealth, and then gives much of it away. You are not a philanthropist if you give an old chair and some clothes to Goodwill.

Quotable: 

How much more grievous are the consequences of anger than the causes of it.

Marcus Aurelius 121-180 A.D.
