More From Harriet Tubman
- "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 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."
- "Quakers almost as good as colored. They call themselves friends and you can trust them every time."
