Bessie-isms:

*The meal you expect to eat always tastes better than the meal you actually eat.

*Asking for a favor when you don’t feel deserving of one will seldom be successful. People read you much better than you’d wish.

Quotable:

Every human being is intended to have a character of his own; to be what no others are, and to do what no other can.

William Ellery Channing
