Texas, To Be Respected Must Be Polite.

Remember That Whatever May Be Said By A Lady Or Her Friends, It Is Not Part Of Conduct Of A Gallant Or Generous Man To Take Up Arms Against A Woman.

We View Ourselves On The Eve Of Battle. We Are Nerved For The Contest, And Must Conquer Or Perish. It Is Vain To Look For Present Aid: None Is At Hand. We Must Now Act Or Abandon All Hope! Rally To The Standard, And Be No Longer The Scoff Of Mercenary Tongues! Be Men, Be Free Men, That Your Children May Bless Their Father's Name.

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.

I Would Give No Thought Of What The World Might Say Of Me, If I Could Only Transmit To Posterity The Reputation Of An Honest Man.

He Has All The Characteristics Of A Dog - Except Loyalty.
