"I have walked that long road to freedom. I have tried not to falter...I have taken a moment to rest, but I can only rest for a moment, for with freedom come responsibilities." Nelson Mandela "If you are tired, keep going. If you are scared, keep going. If you are hungry, keep going. If you want to taste freedom, keep going." Harriet Tubman This inspirational book, following We Are All Born Free, contains 17 quotations about many different aspects of freedom, from the freedom to have an education to that not to be hurt or tortured, the freedom to have a home and the freedom to be yourself.
