Harriet Tubman

If you hear the dogs, keep going. If you see the torches in the woods, keep going. If there's shouting after you, keep going. Don't ever stop. Keep going. If you want a taste of freedom, keep going.
― Harriet Tubman

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.
― Harriet Tubman

I freed thousands of slaves, and could have freed thousands more, if they had known they were slaves.
― Harriet Tubman

There was one of two things I had a right to: liberty or death. If I could not have one, I would take the other, for no man should take me alive. I should fight for liberty as long as my strength lasted.
― Harriet Tubman

When I found I had crossed that line, I looked at my hands to see if I was the same person. There was such a glory over everything.
― Harriet Tubman
