"I never met anybody who was going to die. I met a lot of people who were afraid to die."

"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 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."

"God's time is always the right time."

"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."
