Bessie-isms:

*We like sunlight more than cloudiness, even though the sun causes skin cancer and sunburn. Clouds don’t do either, but we still dislike them, preferring the sun. We do a lot of odd things, don’t we?

*Door to door salesmen are as antiquated as a horse and buggy. Now all we ever see is an occasional religious type, eager to save our soul, a swarthy politician at election time or the occasional one fundraising for something.

Quotable:

Whoever serves his country well has no need of ancestors.

Voltaire
