Harriet Tubman

I prayed to God to make me strong and able to fight, and that's what I've always prayed for ever since. I've had a right to fight for my liberty, and I never did give up.

I never lost courage, though I had many a scare.

The Lord told me to go, and I went. I ain't never been sorry.

I had a vision. I saw the Lord reaching down and taking hold of me, and he said, 'Come, daughter, I'm going to carry you through.'

I was nothing but a poor old woman; but I knew how to pray, and I knew how to work.

I suffered enough to make a man's heart ache.

I can't die but once. And if I die, I die for freedom.

I had a long talk with the Lord, and I told him I was tired of being a slave, and I asked him to set me free.

I always said, 'I'm going to hold steady on to God, and he'll see me through.'

The good Lord will take care of me.

I prayed for freedom for twenty years, but received no answer until I prayed with my legs.

God's time is always the right time. I have been in his service for many years, and I have never found him to be behind time.

I never ran my train off the track and I never lost a passenger.

I'd rather die than be a slave.

I had great faith in God, and I told him I wouldn't stop till I got to Canada.

I have been in his service for many years, and I have never found him to be behind time.

I must be going on, for I have a long journey before me.

I prayed for my master and mistress until one day I heard a voice saying, 'Harriet, you must go.'

The Lord will make a way where there seems to be no way.

I felt like I was in heaven when I crossed the line.
