One of Crockett's sayings, many of which were published in almanacs between 1835 and 1856 (along with those of [[Daniel Boone]] and [[Kit Carson]]), was: "Always be sure you are right, then go ahead''."''{{sfn|Groneman|2005|page=201}}

While serving in the United States House of Representatives, Crockett became a [[Freemasonry|Freemason]]. He entrusted his masonic apron to a friend in Tennessee before leaving for Texas, and it was inherited by the friend's descendant in Kentucky.<ref>"...{{nbsp}}made for him by Mrs. A.C. Massie of Washington, D.C., during his tenure in Congress. Before leaving for Texas, he entrusted the apron to the sheriff of Weakley County, Tennessee, and it was inherited and preserved by the sheriff's nephew, E.M. Taylor of Paducah, Kentucky. The lodge at Weakley County, near the Crockett home, burned during the Civil War destroying all the lodge records.
