Bessie-isms:

*First, I most regret not meeting more interesting people. Secondly, I regret that many of those I met that seemed less than interesting probably were quite amazing, but they were too afraid to honestly show me who they actually were.

*Smiles have magic powers. Use them often, if you would have a better life.

Quotable:

Wise men learn by other men’s mistakes, fools by their own.

H. G. Magee
