Bessie-isms:

*Humor must have some truth to be funny. Humor with  almost too much truth is called satire. Humor with way too much truth is usually political commentary.

*You punish children when the make up stories, but then cry that they become  adults with no imagination or ability to dream.

Quotable:

Too bad that all the people who know how to run the country are busy driving taxicabs and cutting hair.

George Burns
