Bessie-isms:

*Don’t make fun of others for sniffing dirty clothes to find something less nasty to wear, especially if someone else is doing your laundry!

*Sooner or later one of your sly farts will not be just a fart. Kings and Queens, royalty and the rich all succumb sooner or later.

Quotable:

Take calculated risks. That is quite different from being rash.

George S. Patton
