Bessie-isms:

*If you would expend as much effort trying to be blameless as you do searching for someone to blame, think how much better your life would be!

*One man’s calamity is another man’s business opportunity.

Quotable: 

The land of marriage has this peculiarity: that strangers are desirous of inhabiting it, while its natural inhabitants would willingly be banished from it.
