Bessie-isms:

*If you plant ten seeds, you expect to reap many times that number. If you plant love in like manner, you will also receive an abundant return. But be advised, the law of return works just as well if you go out casting hate and evil about.

*You will always remember the home of your youth, good or ill. You may live in more splendor later, but nothing will ever touch your heart as much as the memories of your first home will.

Quotable:

The happiest people seem to be those who have no particular reason for being happy except that they are so..
