Wikiquote quote of the day:
I had crossed de line of which I had so long been dreaming. I was
free; but dere was no one to welcome me to de land of freedom, I was a
stranger in a strange land, and my home after all was down in de old
cabin quarter, wid de ole folks, and my brudders and sisters. But to dis
solemn resolution I came; I was free, and dey should be free also; I
would make a home for dem in de North, and de Lord helping me, I would
bring dem all dere. Oh, how I prayed den, lying all alone on de cold,
damp ground; "Oh, dear Lord," I said, "I haint got no friend but you.
Come to my help, Lord, for I'm in trouble!"
--Harriet Tubman
