Bessie-isms:

*It is easy to lend things or money to other people, usually quite hard to get them returned. You would save much aggravation if you only loaned things you had decided to get rid of anyway.

*Many a person has had marriage to thank for making them eager to go meet God.

Quotable:

My movements to the chair of governement will be accompanied by feelings not unlike those of a culprit who is going to his place of execution.
