Bessie-isms:
*If you wish to have God criticize you less someday, it behooves you to be criticizing yourself a lot more now.
*Hope is as strong as steel, and can stand against all adversity. Yet it can evaporate as swiftly as the dew, if you let your fears gain a toehold.
Quotable:
The best things and the best people rise out of their separateness: I’m against a homogenized society because I want the cream to rise.
Robert Frost
