A few choice quotes on the finest state in the finest nation on this beautiful blue sphere:
“Texas history is a varied, tempestuous, and vast as the state itself. Texas yesterday is unbelievable, but no more incredible than Texas today. Today’s Texas is exhilarating, exasperating, violent, charming, horrible, delightful, alive.” Edna Ferber
“I am forced to conclude that God made Texas on his day off, for pure entertainment, just to prove that all that diversity could be crammed into one section of earth by a really top hand.” Mary Lasswell
“Texas is neither southern nor western. Texas is Texas.” Senator William Blakley
“I think Texans have more fun than the rest of the world.” Tommy Tune

God bless you Texas! And keep you brave and strong,
