"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."

"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 would fight for my liberty as long as my strength lasted, and when the time came for me to go, the Lord would let them take me."

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

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