Bessie-isms:

*When you consider what to do with your life, remember this important fact: God has all of eternity to piddle. You don’t; keep moving and don’t waste time!

*Foolish optimism: Expecting your kids to not do the same sorts of stupid, naughty things you did as a kid or teen, especially if you never told them what you did, and how much trouble you got into for doing them!

Quotable:

Nothing is more moving than beauty which is unaware of itself, except for ugliness which is.
