Remember That Whatever May Be Said By

Texas Can Make It Without The United States, But The United States Cannot Make It Without Texas

Govern Wisely, And As Little As Possible

Let Me Tell You What Is Coming. After The Sacrifice Of Countless Millions Of Treasure And Hundreds Of Thousands Of Lives You May Win Southern Independence, But I Doubt It. The North Is Determined To Preserve This Union. They Are Not A Fiery, Impulsive People As You Are, For They Live In Colder Climates. But When They Begin To Move In A Given Direction, They Move With The Steady Momentum And Perseverance Of A Mighty Avalanche.

Do Right And Risk The Consequences.

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.
