Bessie-isms:

*Never trust a person who says they have no firm opinion about a matter. Either they are being dishonest, or they’ve not bothered to pay attention to the issue decently. Informed people have opinions, usually strong ones. A fool is no improvement over a liar.

*Retirement looks great until you have to spend much time with your spouse or the grandkids. Work really isn’t that bad, is it?

Quotable:

A man who has never gone to school may steal from a freight car; but if he has a university education, he may steal the whole railroad.

Theodore Roosevelt
