Bessie-isms:
*Never rush in eager to cheer when someone has followed your advice and things worked well. Remember that sometimes they will follow your advice to utter ruin.
*You are expected to resist the darkness, not use it for cover to hide some wicked undertaking.
Quotable:
As it is the characteristic of of great wits to say much in few words, so it is of small wits to talk much and say little.
La Rochefoucauld 1613-1680
