Bessie-isms:

*There are few real leaders. Most are impostors, looking to spot a group going somewhere, and running out front, looking pompous and determined, but having no idea where they are going.

*You can not find joy if you spend all your time finding fault, being offended, and trying to play the bitter, wounded victim! Let it go if you wish to truly live!

Quotable:

He is strong who conquers others; he who conquers himself is mighty.

Lao-Tzu
