Bessie-isms:

*The state is a godless entity, foolishly believed by many to be working for the public good. This is a lie, as all large institutions work to grow and perpetuate themselves, and will do any evil or act counter to their original purpose to accomplish that goal.

*A large percentage of people enjoy talking. This would be bad enough, but far too many enjoy listening to themselves even more.

Quotable:

The great man is the man who makes every man feel great.

G. K. Chesterton
