Bessie-isms:

*Teach your children to appologize when they do or say someting wrong or evil. You will give them a skill that few know how to use, and even fewer know how to use well.

*It is always easier to determine whom to blame, rather than to shoulder the burden yourself.

Quotable:

The chains of habit are too weak to be felt until they are too strong to be broken.

Samuel Johnson, 1709-1784
