Bessie-isms:

*When a woman is about to give birth, the process is called labor, not play or vacation! It’s hard and laborious and only if you have a death wish should you suggest otherwise to a female in the midst of it!

*Be glad you don’t have servants. They have a way of making you their slave, and slowly shaping your whole existence to fit their inclinations. You thought the old saying, “Servants rule the master’s house,” was a joke?

Quotable:

Time is a circus always packing up and moving away.
