Bessie-isms:

*Only God is unafraid; we are slaves to our fears, terrified to reach out, to speak our hearts, to dream and to love as God has equipped the least of us to do.

*Standing up to pee does not make a male either manly or civilized, although most seem to think it ‘s close enough.

Quotable:

When dealing with people remember that you are not dealing with creatures of logic, but with creatures of emotion, creatures bristling with prejudice, and motivated by pride and vanity.
