Bessie-isms:

*You will never argue with a wise man. Anyone unwilling to see your point of fool must be a fool, yes? At least you’ll tell yourself that.

* Many people are bold only in committing folly. If you would be bold in a more worthwhile way, learn to be bold in saying, I love you.

Quotable:

It is simpler and easier to flatter men than to praise them.

Jean Paul Richter
