Bessie-ism:

*You don’t know the truth because you won’t hear the truth. You won’t hear the truth because you think you already know the truth! Ah ha! Now do you see what’s keeping you from having a better life?

*An open mind is a great thing to have, allowing you to learn and seek wisdom. Even more important is to have an open heart, for without such you will never learn to love.
