Bessie-isms:

*Just as steel is made stronger by repeated heating and hammering, your soul is likewise made stronger by suffering and adversity. If you’re happy and relaxed, you aren’t growing.

*You can watch anything all day, a pot on the stove, a child, your pet, and nothing will happen. But look away two seconds and you have a mess to deal with!

Quotable:

The worst bankrupt in the world is the man who has lost his enthusiasm.
