Bessie-isms:

*It has been suggested that women are much like cats; difficult and quick to anger or scratch. But understand that they also purr nicely when petted properly.

*You can buy many fine things, or even borrow them, but you get a valuable friend only by earning one.

Quotable:

A successful man is one who makes more money than his wife can spend. A successful woman is one who can find such a man.
