Gen. Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna:
History teaches us, gentlemen, that great generals remain generals by never underestimating their opposition.

Col. William Barrett Travis:
What are you fighting for?

Jim Bowie:
More like the old life, I guess...like it used to be. Like it is in America where the people own the government. You see, Santa Anna, he thinks he owns the people. Now I don't like being owned. I'm kind of particular about that kind of thing.

Col. William Barrett Travis:
This is not about land or money...but the one thing that no man should never be able to take from another man: the freedom to make his own choices about his life, where he'll live, how he'll live, how he'll raise his family.
