Bessie-isms:

*Drinking excessively makes everyone think they are a brilliant conversationalist, witty sexy and talented. Only if everyone around them drinks excessively will they agree.

*The devil is cunning but not all that bright. Of course, he’s bright enough to get you into all sorts of trouble, isn’t he?

Quotable:

You cannot endow even the best machine with initive.
