Bessie-isms:

*Most people believe they have little talent or ability, having listened too long to those around them who tell them they don’t. Stop listening to the nay-sayers, and inventory your own talent. You’ll find more than you ever dreamed you possess.

*The guilty person wishes to believe all others are as guilty as they feel. Pray that you never have one of them on a jury, examining your fate!

Quotable:

He that loves reading has everything within his reach.
