"I'm going to hold steady to God, and he will see me through."

"I never met anybody who was going to die. I met a lot of people who were afraid to die."

"I would fight for my liberty as long as my strength lasted, and when the time came for me to go, the Lord would let them take me."

"I looked at my hands to see if I was the same person now that I was free. There was such a glory over everything."

"I never lost courage, though I had many a scare, and I never lost a single passenger."
