Bessie-isms:

*If you yearn for someone, and they reject you, do not harden your heart or quit looking for someone to love. A fisherman who only tries to catch one fish  in the ocean will likely go hungry! There are more fish; keep fishing!

*The most wonderful companion you might have, is one who refrains from saying, “I told you so,” when your choice turns out badly.

Quotable:

Grace is needed to turn a man into a saint, and he who doubts this does not know what a saint or a man is.

Pascal
