Bessie-isms:

*The short person who seeks to seem taller by standing on the accomplishments of others is never respected, nor should they be. Even a midget seems taller when they stand on their own to feet, and are honest and forthright.

*One drink becomes two, and then three. Lies behave the same way, in case you’ve never considered that.

Quotable:

A little learning is not a dangerous thing to a man who does not mistake it for a great deal.

William Allen White
