Bessie-isms:

*Children need to play, but so to do adults. Old age is mostly caused by trying to be adult too much.

*Men hate to see a woman cry, especially if he’s the cause. Women are good at making a man feel guilty for her tears even when he isn’t the cause.

Quotable:

Too many people are thinking of security instead of opportunity. They seem more afraid of life than death.
