Daniel Webster

Whatever makes men good Christians, makes them good citizens.
Daniel Webster
It is, Sir, as I have said, a small College, And yet, there are those who love it.
Daniel Webster
Inconsistencies of opinion, arising from changes of circumstances, are often justifiable.
Daniel Webster
Our destruction, should it come at all, will be from...the inattention of the people to the concerns of their government, from their carelessness and negligence.
