Bessie-isms:

*If you’re waiting for some people to become sensitive, caring and decent people, you’d better have the patience of God.

*Be diligent in your labors. When the ones show up to criticize and call you a fool, you’ll know your getting someplace!

Quotable:

Children have never been very good at listening to their elders, but they have never failed to imitate them.

James Baldwin
