Bessie-isms:

*You should be as amazed as you are thankful when you manage to do what’s right and moral, especially considering that the alternative is usually looks a lot more fun and desirable.

*Guard your name, and do nothing to besmirch it. If your name begins to make people think of the devil, you’re not doing what you should!

Quotable:

We learn from experience. A man never wakes up his second baby just to see it smile.
