Bessie-isms:

*Memory is seldom a clear mirror, showing us our past or ourselves honestly. We either remember events as better or worse than they were, and our own acts and motives with much the same dishonesty.

*Gravity is a weak force, but anyone who has stepped of a cliff knows how irresistible and deadly it can be. The might of God is much the same, as many fools discover the hard way.

Quotable:

Grief can take care of itself, but to get full value from joy, you must have someone to divide it with.

Mark Twain
