Bessie-isms:
*Living in the modern world we have lost all concept of things our ancestors had to live with, like encountering a snake when you get up to pee in the dark of night.
*The stars are beautiful, but remember, they were just as beautiful when your ancestors were living in caves.
Quotable:
Birds are taken with pipes that imate their own voices, and men with those sayings that are most agreeable to their own opinions.
Samuel Butler
