Bessie-isms:
*Flattery is a cheap and easy way to manipulate people lacking in self-confidence.
*No matter how dear a guest is, there comes a moment when they grow tiresome. The best guest knows this, and always manages to depart shortlt before that moment arrives.
Quotable:
There is a paradox in pride; it makes some men ridiculous, but prevents others from becoming so.
Charles Caleb Colton
