Bessie-isms:

*Pleasure leads many astray, as it is hard to resist. However, without a measure of it, life becomes unbearable. That makes pleasure a necessary evil in a sense, doesn’t it?

*Do not trust the jealous servant, or any who covet your station.

Quotable:

There are people so addicted to exageration that they can’t tell the truth without lying.

Josh Billings
