Bessie-isms:

*A person should resist the urge to wallow in the mud like a pig. They are well suited to it, and will be pleased with the outcome, far more than you might be.

*It is said that music sooths the savage beast. I can’t respect any beast that would be soothed by most of what young people listen to these days.

Quotable:

It is very easy to forgive others their mistakes. It takes more gut and gumption to forgive them for having witnessed your own.
