Bessie-isms:

*Never envy another. You have no idea what the things they possess which you covet are costing them, both now and at the end.

*A gentleman is a person who could be admired for no greater accomplishment than being a well mannered, kind and decent person, but who would likely be embarrassed to be noted for even that.

Quotable:

There’s more credit and satisfaction in being a first rate truck driver, than in being a tenth rate executive.
