Bessie-isms:

*Far too many people make their first love their last; not because it lasts a life time, but because they abandon all hope after one beginning failure!

* If you have no interest in minding your tongue, in thinking before you speak, you will by necessity master the art of appologizing, or learn to love solitude.

Quotable:

Are you not ashamed of heaping up the greatest amount of money and honour and reputation, and caring so little about wisdom, truth and the greatest improvement of the soul?

Socrates, (470 – 399)
