Bessie-isms:

*If you were truly wise, you’d cry more over what you possess than what you don’t. Half of what you have, thoughts, ideas, beliefs and possessions are killing you, not the things you wish you had.

*The worst aspect of living by yourself is that no amount of waiting will result in someone else cleaning up the messes.

Quotable:

So long as there is breath in me, that long will I persist. For now I know one of the greatest principles of success; if I persist long enough I will win.
