Bessie-isms:

*If you can’t handle the small disappointments of life, you’re toast when the big ones come around. And the big ones always come eventually.

*Don’t get mad when a female keeps asking, “Do you think I’m pretty?”   She’s insecure and lacking confidence. Abusing her won’t make her any stronger….

Quotable:

He was not only dull in himself, but the cause of dullness in others.

Samuel Foote
