In the promotion of my country every energy of my mind shall be employed with a fervent invocation to the God who buildeth up nations that his wisdom may direct us in honor and that the people of this nation may be established in virtue, in prosperity, and in happiness.

No one can question Houston's undying devotion to Texas. She was his handiwork he loved her as a father loveth his own child.

As long as there are those who love Texas, as long as her glorious history is read, the name of Houston will be honored and his noble deeds emulated.
