Bessie-isms:

*There is little you can do to improve the mood of another who wishes to be miserable, and even less that can be done to make someone love you who is disinclined.

*One of the tragedies of adulthood is discovering that the toys you threw away are now valuable as collectables.

Quotable:

Enemies publish themselves. They declare war. The friend never declares his love.

Henry David Thoreau
