Oh, Lord! You've been wid me in six troubles, don't desert me in the seventh! - Harriet Tubman

I freed thousands of slaves. I could have freed thousands more, if they had known they were slaves.

I looked at my hands, to see if I was de same person now I was free. Dere was such a glory over everything, de sun came like gold trou de trees, and over de fields, and I felt like I was in heaven.

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.
