I have no accurate knowledge of my age, never having seen any authentic record containing it.

My great and exceeding joy over these stupendous achievements, especially over the abolition of slavery (which had been the deepest desire and the great labor of my life), was slightly tinged with a feeling of sadness.

The silver trump of freedom had roused my soul to eternal wakefulness. Freedom now appeared, to disappear no more forever. It was heard in every sound, and seen in every thing.

Knowledge makes a man unfit to be a slave.

My hopes were never brighter than now.

Going to live at Baltimore laid the foundation, and opened the gateway, to all my subsequent prosperity.

Right is of no sex, truth is of no color.
