Bessie-isms:

*A hundred years ago, goods were used until they were worn out. There wasn’t anything left to yard sale, recycle or donate.  Those were called the Good Old Days for good reason.

*In times long past, rich humans hide their unwashed body’s reek with perfume. Commoners just had to reek. There’s a reason why most people were called the great unwashed.

Quotable:

Don’t talk about yourself; it will be done when you leave.
