I may not be where I want to be, but thank God I am not where I used to be.

The room where I am lodging is stupendous. Thank God I am as fit as a fiddle.

I thank God that I can say on my death bed that I am a virtuous woman.

I'm black because I was born this way. I'm proud of it. Thank God I am who I am.

If I am not, may God put me there; and if I am, may God so keep me.

Thank God, it is over, that I have seen it and am able to tell it to the world.
