Bessie-isms:

*Pray all you wish, but don’t expect to get much unless you’re also working hard. God isn’t Aladdin’s Magic Lamp, and He doesn’t act like it either.

*Lies have a way of being revealed at the moment when you’ll get maximum embarrassment from the process.

Quotable:

There is not any memory with less satisfaction than the memory of some temptation we resisted.

James Branch Cabell
