Bessie-isms:

*Modern medicine has cured many illnesses, but not ignorance, which seems to have reached epidemic proportions.

*The most decisive mouse will be the last to be eaten. To dither in indecision is to be dinner.

Quotable:

Once a man would have spent a week patiently waiting if he missed a stage coach, but now he rages if he misses the first section of a revolving door.
