Bessie-isms:
*One might strive for moderation in life, but be moderate in the pursuit of it. An occasional bit of excess adds zest to life; just be very moderate in the number of witnesses you have to your excess!
*People may praise a moralist occasionally, but will seldom invite one to a gathering, especially if drinking and dancing are planned!
Quotable:
Keep your fears to yourself, but share your courage with others.
Robert Louis Stevenson
