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.

Twant me, 'twas the Lord. I always told him, 'I trust to you. I don't know where to go or what to do, but I expect you to lead me,' and He always did.

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.

I grew up like a neglected weed, ignorant of liberty, having no experience of it. Then I was not happy or contented: every time I saw a white man I was afraid of being carried away.

Never wound a snake; kill it.

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.
