Bessie-isms:

*The most cruel slave master who will ever own your soul is named Regrets.

*Past is prelude. It’s also journey and teacher, motivator and mentor. What it should never be is your master or prison cell, but when you stop moving forward it will be both.

Quotable:

The stoical scheme of supplying our wants by lopping off our desires is like cutting off our feet when we want shoes.

Jonathan Swift
