Bessie-isms:

* To call people doing their job heroes is to devalue and debase the meaning of the word hero. Police and firefighters are paid to do dangerous things. If grandma runs into a burning building and carries someone out, she’s a  hero. A firefighter doing it is not.

* It’s easy to recognize new ideas, much harder to tell which are worthy, and which are not. That’s why so many entrepreneurs go broke.

Quotable:

Let us not go over old ground, let us rather prepare for what is to come.

Marcus Tullius Cicero
