Bessie-isms:

*You shun new ideas that seem to require work, but fall easily for the ones that promise pleasure with little effort. Guess which kind others use as bait for traps the set to snare you?

*Men much admire and seek out the easy girl, but then talk bad about her. You females would be wise to remember that.

Quotable:

A boy becomes an adult three years before his parents think he does, and about two years after he thinks he does.
