Bessie-isms and Quotable for August 25, 2014

Bessie-isms:

*It used to be such that we reserved the term “hero” for someone who did great deeds against impossible odds. Now, every cop and fireman is called a “hero” for showing up, and doing what they’re paid to do. Where everyone is a “hero,” no one is a “hero.”

*The history of the victor is usually quite different from that of the vanquished.

Quotable:

I have never been hurt by anything I didn’t say!

Calvin Coolidge
