Bessie-isms:

*The plant you hate will grow no matter how you neglect and abuse it; the one grandma gave you, that you treasure, will turn brown and die even if you have a professional tend it.

*Just once before I die I’d like to meet a female who actually likes every part of her body, and has nothing she despises or hates as too big, small, flabby, fat, skinny, weird or ugly.

Quotable:

The true perfection of man lies not in what he has, but in what man is.

Oscar Wilde
