Bessie-isms:

*If no one in your family likes you, you should seriously search your soul. Family is supposed to be your first line of defense against loneliness. Either you have some wicked issues, or you have one seriously terrible family!

* Be thankful you aren’t a  fox. He has the misfortune to be admired for his pelt, but never while he’s wearing it!

Quotable:

In life it is difficult to say who does you the most mischief, enemies with the worst intentions, or friends with the best!

Edward Bulwer-Lytton
