Bessie-isms:

*Few set out to make a second rate movie or book, but many end up doings so. Always strive to produce a first rate product, for if you only aim for second rate, you have a good chance of hitting third or fourth rate.

*A fools hope people will understand him. A wise person sets out to understand others.

Quotable:

Work expands so as to fill the time available for its completion.
