Texas and the South

American by birth,
Texan by the grace of God

Life begins in Texas.

Life's too short not to live in Texas.

Every tribe, tongue, and nation or bust!

I wasn't born in Texas, but I got here as fast as I could!

Because I was born in the South, I'm a Southerner. If I had been born in the North, the West, or the Central Plains, I would be a human being.

Life in Lubbock, Texas has taught me two things. One is that God loves you and you're going to hell. The other is that sex is the most awful, filthy thing on earth and you should save it for someone you love.
Butch Hancock

I get from the soil and spirit of Texas the feeling that I, as an individual, can accomplish whatever I want to, and that there are no limits, that you can just keep going, just keep soaring. I like that spirit.
Barbara Jordan

I would say 80% of women in Texas carry a confident air about them, which is really one of the most attractive qualities a women can have... and the most beautiful women I've seen have been in Texas. It's amazing.

There ought to be a different category for Southern girls. They've been doing this since they were born. They're professionals.
