Bessie-isms:

*It is likely fortunate that we can’t easily disown our relatives. I’d have fired most of mine long ago if I could have, and so would you!

*If a woman appears willing and friendly enough, men will over look many of her flaws. Women instinctively understand this better than men do, and use it shamelessly. Otherwise, the divorce rate would be approaching 100%.

Quotable:

I like the laughter that opens the lips and the heart, that shows at the same time pearls and the soul.
