Yvonne Pierre quote #134 from The Day My Soul Cried: A Memoir

If your boss asks you to do a task... Youll stay late for work to make sure its done. Youll be confident that your boss wouldnt have asked you if heshe didnt trust that you could do it. You wouldnt allow anyone or anything to distract you. No matter how hard it is its not an option youll find a way to make it happen. Youll not only find time youll try to get it done before the deadline. So why when God gives you a task... you allow fear to consume you find excuses allow distractions care about what people think and assume its impossible If He gave it to you He trusts you CAN get it done. Yes theyll be distractions. And no its not going to be easy but know that it is POSSIBLE Answer the call

Frederick Douglass quote #124 from Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass

You are loosed from your moorings and are free I am fast in my chains and M a slave You move merrily before the gentle gale and I sadly before the bloody whip You are freedoms swift winged angels that fly around the world I am confined in the bands of iron O that I were free O that if I were on one of your gallant decks under your protecting wing Alas Betwixt me and you the turbid waters roll. Go on go on. O that I could also go Could I but swim If I could fly O why was I born a man of whom to make a brute The glad ship is gone she hides in the dim distance. I am left in the hottest hell of unending slavery. O God save me God deliver me Let me be free Is there any God Why am I a slave I will run away. I will not stand. Get caught or clear Ill try it. I had as well die with ague as the fever. I have only one life to lose. I had as well be killed running as die standing. Only think of it 100 miles straight north and I am free Try it Yes God is helping me I will. It cannot be that I shall live and die a slave. I will take to the water. This is very bay shall yet bear me into freedom. The steamboats steered in the Northeast course from Northpoint. I will do the same and when I get to the head of the bay I will turn my canoe adrift and walked straight through Delaware into Pennsylvania. When I get there I shall not be required to have a pass I can travel without being disturbed. Let but the first opportunity offer and come what will I am off. Meanwhile I will try to bear up under the yoke. I am not the only slave in the world. Why should I be free I can bear as much as any of them. Besides I am but a boy and all boys are bound to some one. It may be that my misery and slavery will only increase the happiness when I get free there is a better day coming. 62 63
