Bessie-isms:

*Your teenager lies to you from immaturity and the eagerness to avoid unpleasant consequences. You were just as dishonest, but don’t think so because you’re now lying to yourself, instead of your parents.

*The only hard work many people do is in their effort to find a way to blame someone else for their lack of productivity.

Quotable:

Nothing is more humiliating than to see idiots succeed in enterprises we have failed in.

Gustave Flaubert
