Bessie-isms:

*Being proud of who you are is likely questionable; being proud of your accomplishments, if they are good and benefit others, is much better. And much harder.

*Your task as a parent is to prepare your child for life as an independent human, who will have the skills and will to teach their own children the same thing. It sounds easier than it

Quotable:

Experience is the worst teacher; it gives the test before presenting the lesson.
