Bessie-isms:

*A girl is not corrupted the first time she lets someone take her panties off. She is corrupted much earlier, when she lies and is not caught.

*You would like more people to be kind and help you more. How often do you adequately say thank you if someone does? Perhaps that’s where you should start?

Quotable:

He that wrestles with us strengthens our nerves and sharpens our skill. Our antagonist is our helper.

Edmund Burke
