You’ll be free or die!

I can’t die but once.

Lord, I’m going to hold steady on to You and You’ve got to see me through.

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.

If I could have convinced more slaves that they were slaves, I could have freed thousands more.

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.

Never wound a snake; kill it.

I grew up like a neglected weed – ignorant of liberty, having no experience of it.

I freed a thousand slaves I could have freed a thousand more if only they knew they were slaves.

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.

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.

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.

I never lost a passenger.

I never ran my train off the track, and I never lost a passenger.

Quakers almost as good as colored. They call themselves friends and you can trust them every time.

You’ll be free or die!
