Bessie-isms:

*No one desires or admires learning as much as one who’s come to ruin for lack of it.

*The coy or inviting look of a young woman can stop the forward march of progress, if it happens at the right moment.

Quotable:

It isn’t so astonishing, the number of things I can remember, as the number of things I can remember that aren’t so!

Mark Twain
