Betsy DeVos is not the most informed person on education policy, but I have seen her present a few times, and she presents as a pretty respectable, intelligent person who has cared passionately about education and cares about charter schools.

Bette Davis in All About Eve was huge for me. Her acting was staggering.

Bette Davis is my hero. I'm obsessed with her. I base everything I do on her.

Bette Davis was a close friend. She loved to have a good time.

Better Old King Cole and his merry soul than a hundred Franz Kafkas.

Better a bad excuse, than none at all.

Better a bald head than none at all.

Better a barefoot than none.

Better a beggar than a thief.

Better a broken heart than a hardened one.

Better a crust of black bread than a mountain of paper confections,
Better a daisy in earth than a dahlia cut and gathered,
Better a cowslip with root than a prize carnation without it.

Better a debauched canary than a pious wolf.

Better a decent remake than a bad original, don't you think?

Better a diamond with a flaw than a pebble without.

Better a dish of husks to the accompaniment of a muted lute than to be satiated with stewed shark's fin and rich spiced wine of which the cost is frequently mentioned by the provider.
