More than you wanted to know department: Previously mentioned quotation frequently attributed to Texas governor (1925-1927, 1933-1935) "Ma" (Miriam Amanda) Ferguson (1876-1961) appears in two variations: "If the King's English was good enough for Jesus, it's good enough for me," and, "If English was good enough for Jesus Christ, it ought to be good enough for the children of Texas." This apparently was her voiced opinion when it was suggested that Mexican children in Texas schools might need classes taught in Spanish.
