Bessie-isms:

* I frankly have no idea how anyone who grows up with an opposite sex sibling is ever persuaded to marry! You’d think they’d have much less optimism and a lot better grasp of what they’re in for, than most seem to exhibit at the very least.

*No father wants to imagine his daughter being as slutty and sexual with a man as her mother was with him.

Quotable:

The darkest hour of any man’s life is when he sits down to plan how to get money without earning it.

Horace Greeley
