Harriet Tubman
Harriet Tubman was an escaped slave and an African-American abolitionist.
"If I could have convinced more slaves that they were slaves, I could have freed thousands more."
"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."
"If I could have convinced more slaves that they were slaves, I could have freed thousands more."
"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."
"Never wound a snake; kill it."
"I cannot die but once."
"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; the sun came like gold through the trees, and over the fields, and I felt like I was in heaven."
