"I was nothing but a poor old woman; but I knew how to pray, and I knew how to work."

"I never ran my train off the track and I never lost a passenger."

"I suffered enough to make a man's heart ache."

"I was a stranger in a strange land; and my home, after all, was down in Maryland; because my father, my mother, my brothers, and sisters, and friends were there."

"I would make a home for them in the North, and the Lord helping me, I would bring them all there."
