Bessie-isms:

*Children can’t wait to be grown up. You know you’re fully grown up when you wish you were a child again.

*Avoid allowing yourself to be angry over petty things. Anger leads to bitterness, and bitterness will poison even a fairly decent life.

Quotable:

Richer than I you can never be; I had a mother who read to me.
