Bessie-isms:

*Manners are imortant. You can be the village idiot, but if you have good manners, people won’t notice or mind that you are.

*Everyone has an ass. It seems that every ass has an opinion, and most times we’d rather see the ass displayed than the opinion!

Quotable:

There are people so addicted to exageration that they can’t tell the truth without lying!
