Harriet Tubman

I freed a thousand slaves I could have freed a thousand more if only they knew they were slaves. 
Harriet Tubman 
Never wound a snake; kill it. 
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. 
Harriet Tubman 
Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world. 
Harriet Tubman 
I can't die but once. 
Harriet Tubman 
I looked at my hands to see if I was the same person. There was such a glory over everything. The sun came up like gold through the trees, and I felt like I was in heaven. 
Harriet Tubman 
I was the conductor of the Underground Railroad for eight years, and I can say what most conductors can't say; I never ran my train off the track and I never lost a passenger. 
Harriet Tubman 
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. 
Harriet Tubman 
I grew up like a neglected weed - ignorant of liberty, having no experience of it. 
Harriet Tubman 
If I could have convinced more slaves that they were slaves, I could have freed thousands more. 
Harriet Tubman 
Lord, I'm going to hold steady on to You and You've got to see me through. 
Harriet Tubman 
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. 
Harriet Tubman
Quakers almost as good as colored. They call themselves friends and you can trust them every time. 
Harriet Tubman 
You'll be free or die! 
Harriet Tubman 
I never lost a passenger. 
Harriet Tubman 
I never ran my train off the track, and I never lost a passenger.
