Bessie-isms:

*A person who delights in hurting others and causing problems is evil. They should be beaten soundly and often, to discourage such wickedness.

*No, your cat isn’t dreaming of catching mice. He’s dreaming of how he’ll rule the world after we’ve been enslaved by him and his fellows. You don’t know much about cats, do you?

Quotable:

Once a man would spend a week patiently waiting if he missed a stage coach, but now he rages if he misses the first section of a revolving door.
