Bessie-isms:

*Don’t expect others to exert themselves for you in ways you’re too lazy to do for yourself. People could do so, but won’t. You’re not any better, so don’t cry.

*One should pity the female that considers being sexy and enticing as being beneath her. The wise female understands how much power she can exert over hapless males by doing so, and uses this ability for her own ends.

Quotable:

Judge a tree from its fruit, not from its leaves.

Euripides
