Davy Crockett

“Fame is like a shaved pig with a greased tail, and it is only after it has slipped through the hands of some thousands, that some fellow, by mere chance, holds on to it!”

“Heaven knows that I have done all that a mortal could do, to save the people, and the failure was not my fault, but the fault of others.”

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

“I have always supported measures and principles and not men.”
