Harriet Tubman

“Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world.”

“Quakers almost as good as colored. They call themselves friends and you can trust them every time.”

“I had reasoned this out in my mind, there was one of two things I had a right to, liberty or death if I could not have one, I would have the other.”

“I grew up like a neglected weed - ignorant of liberty, having no experience of it.”

“I had crossed the line. I was free but there was no one to welcome me to the land of freedom. I was a stranger in a strange land.”

“I would fight for my liberty so long as my strength lasted, and if the time came for me to go, the Lord would let them take me.”
