Bessie-isms:

*Heroes are more common than you think. Just getting through the average life takes some fairly heroic efforts for most humans, some more than others.

*If there is any excuse that might work with God, to alleviate one of your failings likely it is this: I was in love.

Quotable:

My guess is that 80 percent of the human race goes through life without having a single original thought.
