When I preaches, I has just one text to preach from, an' I always preaches from this one. My text is, 'When I found Jesus.'

If women want any rights more than they's got, why don't they just take them, and not be talking about it.

There is a great stir about colored men getting their rights, but not a word about the colored women; and if colored men get their rights, and not colored women theirs, you see, the colored men will be masters over the women, and it will be just as bad as it was before.

If the Lord comes and burns - as you say he will - I am not going away; I am going to stay here and stand the fire, like Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego! And Jesus will walk with me through the fire and keep me from harm.

I have plowed and planted and gathered into barns, and no man could head me. And aren't I a woman?

It is written that there shall be a separation, and the sheep shall be separated from the goats. The other preachers have the sheep; I have the goats. And I have a few sheep among my goats, but they are very ragged.
