Bessie-isms:

*A Man with a wife and three or more daughters will quickly develop the patience of Job, or he will be a madman.

*A recession may be considered over when the poor complain less, not when the rich complain less. Rich people never stop complaining about being poor.

Quotable:

Regret is an appaling waste of energy; you can’t build on it; it’s only good for wallowing in.

Katherine Mansfield
