Garland Explores: Huntsville. "Govern wisely and as little as possible."
Statue erected in 1994 of Sam Houston, US Congressman 1823-1827, Governor of Tennessee 1827-1829, President Republic of Texas 1836-1838 and 1841-1844, US Senator 1846-1859, and Governor of Texas 1859-1861.
"The great misfortune is that a notion obtains with those in power that the world, or the people, require more governing than is necessary. To govern well is a great science, but no country is ever improved by too much governing...most men think when they are elevated to position, that it requires an effort to discharge their duties, and they leave common sense out of the question." — Sam Houston
