Bessie-isms:

*We’d prefer to see the weatherman paid according to the accuracy of his forecasts, but know he’d stave. That wouldn’t bother us all that much either.

*Childhood is a wonderful time when make believe seems to make dreams real. Dreams can still be made real as an adult, but it takes a lot more work or a lot bigger make believe.

Quotables:

I do not like these cold, precise, perfect people, who, in order not to speak wrong, never speak at all, and in order not to do wrong, never do anything.

Henry Ward Beecher
