Bessie-isms:

*It often seems easier to find things to regret than things to be pleased with. This is a trap, that if indulged, will suck the meaning and joy completely from your life.

*We all too often buy new things not because the old ones are worn out, but because someone we know bought a similar new thing, and we’re envious.

Quotable:

Blessed are they who heal us of our self-delusions. Of all services which can be done to man, I know of none more precious.

William Hale White
