Bessie-isms:

*You are dishonest because you are either afraid to be honest, or because you’re evil. There are no other possibilities.

*Bitterness is a slow poison, which spreads slowly into every bit of your existence, numbing your mind, and turning your heart to stone.

Quotable:

Nobody will keep the thing he hears to himself, and nobody will repeat just what he hears and no more.

Seneca
