The Lord who told me to take care of my people meant me to do it just as long as I live, and so I did what he told me.

Pears like I prayed all the time, 'bout my work, everywhere, I prayed an' groaned to the Lord.

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 am at peace with God and all mankind.

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.

In my dreams and visions, I seemed to see a line, and on the other side of that line were green fields, and lovely flowers, and beautiful white ladies, who stretched out their arms to me over the line, but I couldn't reach them no-how. I always fell before I got to the line.

Never wound a snake; kill it.
