Bessie-isms:

*Even a complete loser has a “philosophy of life.” Philoshopy is worthless, if you lack ambition, motivation, smarts and common sense.

*Someone once claimed that the pen is mightier than the sword. Not very likely, when someone else uses a sword to lop off the hand that holds the pen. Never bring a pen to a sword fight!

Quotable:

I never wonder to see men wicked, but I often wonder to see them not ashamed.

Jonathan Swift
