My God, Is It Possible That All

In The Name Of The Constitution Of Texas, Which Has Been Trampled Upon, I Refuse To Take This Oath. I Love Texas Too Well To Bring Civil Strife And Bloodshed Upon Her.

Bear In Mind...that All Histories From The Rock At Plymouth, And Jamestown To The Present Time, Have Been Made By White Men, And A Man Who Tells His Own Story, Is Always Right Until The Adversary's Tale Is Told.

Texas Is The Finest Portion Of The Globe That Has Ever Blessed My Vision!

It Is A Matter Of Great Satisfaction To Me To Hope That My Children Will Be In Circumstances To Receive A Good Education. Mine Was Defective And I Feel The Inconvenience, If Not The Misfortune Of Not Receiving A Classical Education. Knowledge Is The Food Of Genius, And My Son, Let No Opportunity Escape You To Treasure Up Knowledge.

Texas Will Again Lift It's Head And Stand Among The Nations. It Ought To Do So, For No Country Upon The Globe Can Compare With It In Natural Advantages.
