Harriet Tubman — "Never wound a snake; kill it."

"The good Lord will take care of me."

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

"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 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.'"

"If you hear the dogs, keep going. If you see the torches in the woods, keep going. If there's shouting after you, keep going. Don't ever stop. Keep going. If you want a taste of freedom, keep going."
