Bessie-isms:

*Of course teens lie to you! They learn early that honesty is seldom rewarded. You want true confessions, you need to punish lying more harshly than you do whatever they’ve done wrong!

*People blame God for crappy weather. They would be a lot smarter to blame themselves for choosing to live where crappy weather is possible or likely.

Quotable:

The greater the number of laws and enactments, the more robbers and thieves and robbers there will be.
