Bessie-isms:

*Don’t give your children only things; Things wear out and fail. Give them dreams, but not the ones you abandoned or failed to accomplish. They need their own. Help them find the ones their soul hungers for.

*As old ages, you will cry and plead for more time. Why should God grant it to you, since you’ve squandered most of what you have had? Do more, beg less.

Quotable:

I don’t know who my grandfather was; I was much more concerned to know who his grandson will be.

Abraham Lincoln
