Bessie-isms:

*When your friends are all crappy, suspect losers, you’ll be consisdered the same by everyone else. You are judged by the company you keep. How about elevating your standards for friends, and thereby your whole life?

*Beware of consensus or “what everyone knows.” Once everyone “knew” the world was flat. Not much of a recomendation for consensus, is it? Better to follow the one person who knows the real truth!

Quotable:

Ask your child what he wants for dinner only if he’s buying.
