Bessie-isms:

* When you are unhappy know this; only you can fix this. Don’t waste your life waiting for others to preform miracles. Even God expects you to get off your butt and deal with it.

*Women frequently catch a man by repeatedly saying no while giving a coy, inviting smile.

Quotable:

Calamities are of two kinds: misfortune to ourselves, and good fortune to others.

Ambrose Bierce
