Bessie-isms:

*You don’t get to choose your relatives, which is a blessing for most people. They’d live as orphans if anyone had a vote!

*Some people think they’d like to hear God’s comments each day on how they’re doing. Frankly I’ll pass on that; I get yelled at by my spouse and boss enough each day as it is, and considering my life honestly, God wouldn’t be praising me very much either.

Quotable:

All of us have sufficient fortitude to bear the misfortunes of others.

Due de La Rochefoucauld
