Bessie-isms:

*In your five senses you have powers that are worthy of the Gods; use them well and fully or live as a senseless rock, blind and insensate! No other creature has your ability so don’t squander it!

*Touch someone! With your words, your eyes, and especially your hands. The touch of another’s hands are profound and uplifting, reaffirming your care to one who might be doubting that anyone has such intent.

Quotable:

Of every ten persons who talk about you, nine will say something bad, and the tenth will say something good in a bad way.

Antoine Rivarol
