Bessie-isms:

*Would you plan a trip with no idea where you intended to go? Foolish, yes? Yet most of you live life with neither plan nor dream, and then cry because you end up lost.

*Love is not like money. You can give it away endlessly, and only become richer.

Quotable:

It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife.

Jane Austin
