Bessie-isms:

*Women will sometimes tell a man she doesn’t want flowers, but don’t fall for that one, men. A ten dollar bouquet will prevent you having to spend fifty on nicer flowers, plus maybe dinner and a shopping spree. When in doubt, buy the damned flowers!

*Much of what passes for genius is simply a disagreeable temperament and a lot of bull pucky, that no one can decide is  brilliant or plain stupid.

Quotable:

Diplomacy is the art of saying, “Nice doggie!” till you can find a rock.
