I would rather be politically dead than hypocritically immortalized.

Throughout the day no time for memorandums now. Go ahead! Liberty and independence forever.

You can all go to heck; I will go to Texas

We must not permit our respect for the dead or our sympathy for the living to lead us into an act of injustice to the balance of the living.

You can go to hell -- I'm going to Texas.

I am at liberty to vote as my conscience and judgment dictates to be right, without the yoke of any party on me... Look at my arms, you will find no party hand-cuff on them.

Be sure you are right, then go ahead.
