Bessie-isms:

*Only the person who never speaks, or who does so after only the sternest consideration will have no need to apologize; The rest will have much need and opportunity to practice it.

*A child is born devoid of conscience, no sense of right or wrong. Your number one task as a parent is to instill one in them. If you fail, you will crate an evil human at best, a monster at worst, and the blame will be solely on your bill when you die.

Quotable:

Few men have been admired by their servants.

Michel de Montaigue
