Texas is a great place to be rich and a terrible place to be poor. It's got the highest percentage of people without health insurance in the country. If you get injured on the job, good luck getting workers' comp. And God help you if you're poor and mentally ill.

Texas is a great program. The respect they gave me was amazing.
‐‐ Austin Seferian-Jenkins
Texas is a hotbed of insanely good bands and musicians.
‐‐ Henry Rollins
Texas is as odd as it is vast.
‐‐ Henry Rollins
Texas is generally 82 degrees year round. I always tell people you don't know cold until you have been to Boston.
‐‐ Marcus Luttrell
Texas is just so rich with characters. Women who live alone in a little house on a thousand acres with nothing but cattle and a pickup truck. And an airplane.
‐‐ Sissy Spacek
Texas is now a cornerstone of the electoral college for Republicans.
‐‐ Ed Gillespie
Texas is OK if you want to settle down and do your own thing quietly, but it's not for outrageous people, and I was always outrageous.
‐‐ Janis Joplin
Texas is where I found my musical self.
‐‐ Jerry Jeff Walker
Texas people are very open, because it's open.
‐‐ Margo Martindale
Texas, to be respected must be polite. Santa Anna living, can be of incalculable benefit to Texas; Santa Anna dead, would just be another dead Mexican.
‐‐ Sam Houston
Texas was defined by its larger-than-life characters, particularly politicians.
‐‐ Jessica Savitch
Texas was home. We went to Anchorage to get rich in 1959. Someone told us, 'If you drive a nail, you could make $100 a day in construction work.' We were hungry, and we stayed there for a year and a half. But I never did plan to stay there - the same with Nashville. I was gonna go up there and work, but Texas was home.
‐‐ Johnny Gimble
Texas was mostly short-grass and tall-grass prairie when modern Europeans arrived here. It really was a land of milk and honey. But when they brought all these cattle onto these relatively small bits of land, and the cattle were allowed to graze freely, they essentially destroyed the prairie.
‐‐ Philipp Meyer
Texas was such a welcoming place, and with its unbelievable history and tradition, it's extra special to be a part of that.
‐‐ Ricky Williams
Texas will again lift it's head and stand among the nations. It ought to do so, for no country upon the globe can compare with it in natural advantages.
‐‐ Sam Houston
Texas women have an amazing sense of purpose when they lose it. They're the best girls in the world - they're loyal and fun, but when they get mad, they'll try to kill you.

Text messaging is just the most recent focus of people's anxiety; what people are really worried about is a new generation gaining control of what they see as their language.
‐‐ David Crystal
Textbook publishers don't even bother to advertise at their conventions.
‐‐ Peter Brimelow
Textbook rental is a great concept. It is just a great business model.
‐‐ Dan Rosensweig
Textbook science is beautiful! Textbook science is comprehensible, unlike mere fascinating words that can never be truly beautiful. Elementary science textbooks describe simple theories, and simplicity is the core of scientific beauty. Fascinating words have no power, nor yet any meaning, without the math.
‐‐ Eliezer Yudkowsky
Textbook survival tells you to stay put. Stop. Wait for rescue. Don't take any risks. But there'd been a whole host of survival shows like that and I didn't really want to do that.
‐‐ Bear Grylls
Textbooks are going to remain a key part of learning. They just need to go digital, become more interactive and they need more analytics.
‐‐ Osman Rashid
Textbooks are no longer given to schoolchildren; they're too expensive. So they're given to the teachers, who probably need them more.
‐‐ Sarah Churchwell
Textbooks are Soviet propaganda.
‐‐ Jerry Falwell
Textbooks describe economics as the study of the allocation of scarce resources. That definition may be the 'what,' but it certainly is not the 'why.'
‐‐ Ben Bernanke
Textiles embody all the dimensions of art: color, innovation, talent.
‐‐ Stanley Marcus
Texting has added a new dimension to language use, but its long-term impact is negligible. It is not a disaster.
‐‐ David Crystal
Texting has reduced the number of waste words, but it has also exposed a black hole of ignorance about traditional - what a cranky guy would call correct - grammar.
‐‐ Richard Corliss
Texting is a fundamentally sneaky form of communication, which we should despise, but it is such a boon we don't care. We are all sneaks now.
‐‐ Lynne Truss
Texting is a lot like an answering machine. If you don't want to talk to somebody, it's like screening your calls. To me, it's a way of communication, but not one that I favor.
‐‐ Pat Gillick
Texting is a supremely secretive medium of communication - it's like passing a note - and this means we should be very careful what we use it for.
‐‐ Lynne Truss
Texting is addicting. Once you get emotionally involved with constant outside stimulation assaulting your brain, it is hard to stop looking at your machine every two minutes. Without rapid fire words appearing on a screen, you feel bored, not part of the action.
‐‐ Bill O'Reilly
Texting is apocalyptic on some level. It's a reduction of things.
‐‐ Nick Cave
Texting is fingered speech. Now we can write the way we talk.
‐‐ John McWhorter
Texting is very loose in its structure. No one thinks about capital letters or punctuation when one texts, but then again, do you think about those things when you talk?
‐‐ John McWhorter
Texts and e-mails travel no faster than phone calls and telegrams, and their content isn't necessarily richer or poorer.
‐‐ Alison Gopnik
Texts are always in flux.
‐‐ Robert Darnton
Texture is something we forget - it makes outfits look very expensive. You can do a monochromatic outfit, if you're afraid of things that are more colorful and printed, and still create interest.
‐‐ Stacy London
Textures apply to everything I do. Even within my music, I like smooth things, and then hard and fluffy things, all giving them their place to shine.
‐‐ FKA twigs
Thailand stands at a crossroads.
‐‐ Thaksin Shinawatra
Thailand was built on compassion.
‐‐ Bhumibol Adulyadej
Thanh Hoa itself is a rich agricultural province. Rice fields, a pattern of many shades of green, stretch far into the distance along the road, which also winds through foothills and the fringes of heavy jungle where tigers are said to roam. The vegetation, wild or cultivated, is lush.
‐‐ Noam Chomsky
Thank god, and now all I have are, twenty one years together, in January and, you know, I, you know I forgot this all about things. And anyway the first place is good thing.
‐‐ Olga Korbut
Thank God every morning when you get up that you have something to do that day, which must be done, whether you like it or not.
‐‐ James Russell Lowell
Thank God for acupuncture. It's been around for 2000 years. It's not going anyplace and people use it all of the time for a variety of cures and to avoid illnesses.
‐‐ Tim Daly
Thank God for beautiful songs about feeling despair when you yourself are in despair. They really get us through.
‐‐ Susannah McCorkle
Thank God for being a writer, because you do sort of find out what you think by the process of writing.
‐‐ Robyn Davidson
Thank God for Botox.
‐‐ Bonnie Tyler
