Quotes 

• 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.

• 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 : Are you a commander or a scout?

  Jim Bowie : [Clearly annoyed at Travis]  You know something, Colonel, you're gettin' to be a burr under my saddle.

• Col. William Barrett Travis : What if we fail?

  Pvt. Danny Cloud : Well, death in the cause of liberty does not make me shudder, Colonel.
