Texas Is The Finest Portion

I Preferred Measuring Deer Tracks To Tape - That I Liked The Wild Liberty Of The Red Men Better Then The Tyranny Of My Brothers.

I Beseech Those Whose Piety Will Permit Them Reverently To Petition, That They Will Pray For This Union, And Ask That He Who Buildeth Up And Pulleth Down Nations Will, The Mercy Preserve And Unite Us. For A Nation Divided Against Itself Cannot Stand. I Wish, If This Union Must Be Dissolved, That Its Ruins May Be The Monument Of My Grave, And The Graves Of My Family. I Wish No Epitaph To Be Written To Tell That I Survive The Ruin Of This Glorious Union.

Do Right And Risk The Consequences.

I Humble Myself Before God, And There The List Ends.

I Love Texas Too Well To Bring Civil Strife And Bloodshed Upon Her.
