Bessie-isms:

*The funeral director will bury you at ninety as easily as forty five. He’ll wait. Just don’t live your life like you’re hanging around with him now!

*It is hard for a man to raise a daughter. For one thing, he knows she will like kiss a lot of Princes, who turn into toads. He hopes she will find a man like the better parts of himself, but will always fear that she’ll get one with his worst tendencies.

Quotable:

I believe that the first test of a truly great man is his humility.
