Bessie-isms:

*Since people have quit writing letters, future generations will have no idea what we thought. God knows the drivel left on Facebook will be mostly useless!

*Every slave imagines he would make a better master, but whenever this occurs, the former slave makes the cruelest  and most evil of masters.

Quotable:

The deepest personal defeat suffered by human beings is constituted by the difference between what one was capable of and what one has in fact become.

Ashley Montagu
