“…the victory will cost the enemy so dear, that it will be worse to him than a defeat.”

I must say as to what I have seen of Texas it is the garden spot of the world. The best land and the best prospects for health I ever saw, and I do believe it is a fortune to any man to come here.

Texas will again lift its head and stand among the nations. It ought to do so, for no country on the globe can compare with it in natural advantages.

Texas is a state of mind. Texas is an obsession. Above all, Texas is a nation in every sense of the word.

“This is not about land or money... but the one thing that no man should ever be able to take from another man: the freedom to make his own choices about his life, where he'll live, how he'll live, and how he'll raise his family.”
