QUOTES

I grew up like a neglected weed -- ignorant of liberty, having no experience of it.

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.

“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.”

“I freed a thousand slaves I could have freed a thousand more if only they knew they were slaves.”

Children, if you are tired, keep going; if you are hungry, keep going; if you want to taste freedom, keep going.

I was free, but there was no one to welcome me to the land of freedom. I was a stranger in a strange land.
