Bessie-isms:

*The best friend is one who has seen you at your worst, most miserable state of messiness, and still wants to be around you.

*I admire people who may be embarrassed by their failings, but who don’t hide them with lies and silence. Shame is made stronger when you run from it instead of standing up to it.

Quotable:

Youth is that period when a young boy knows everything but how to make a living.

Carey Williams
