Bessie-isms:

*A king might look down on you, but for pure loathing and disdain, none can match the contempt civil servants feel for the people they supposedly serve.

*If you want a problem solved efficiently so that there won’t be worse problems later, make sure government has no say in the solution.

Quotable:

Abuse a man unjustly and you will make friends for him.
