Bessie-isms:
*A promotion may not mean you’re the best of the best. It may be that you just aren’t the worst of the mediocre. Try not to get a big head.
* A man can easily get a sample of old fashioned biblical retribution simply by coming home drunk, and reeking of the smell of another female, after he’s told his significant other that he was going to help a friend with the Cub Scouts.
Quotable:
*I would often be a coward, but for the shame of it.
