More quotes by Daniel Webster
The freest government, if it could exist, would not be long acceptable, if the tendency of the laws were to create a rapid accumulation of property in a few hands, and to render the great mass of the population dependent and penniless.
Daniel Webster
Keep cool anger is not an argument.
Daniel Webster
No man can suffer too much, and no man can fall too soon, if he suffer or if he fall in defense of the liberties and Constitution of his country.
Daniel Webster
This is the Book. I have read the Bible through many times, and now make it a practice to read it through once every year. It is a book of all others for lawyers, as well as divines and I pity the man who cannot find in it a rich supply of thought and of rules for conduct. It fits man for life--it prepares him for death.
Daniel Webster
Those who do not look upon themselves as a link, connecting the past with the future, do not perform their duty to the world.
Daniel Webster
Our profession is good, if practiced in the spirit of it it is damnable fraud and iniquity when its true spirit is supplied by a spirit of mischief-making and money catching.
Daniel Webster
The inherent right in the people to reform their government, I do not deny and they have another right, and that is to resist unconstitutional laws without overturning the government.
Daniel Webster
Good intentions will always be pleaded, for every assumption of power but they cannot justify it ... It is hardly too strong to say, that the Constitution was made to guard the people against the dangers of good intention, real or pretended.
Daniel Webster
No man not inspired can make a good speech without preparation.
Daniel Webster
Whatever makes men good Christians, makes them good citizens.
Daniel Webster
I am committed against every thing which in my judgment, may weaken, endanger, or destroy (the Constitution) ... and especially against all extension of Executive power and I am committed against any attempt to rule the free people of this country by the power and the patronage of the Government itself.
Daniel Webster
I thank God, that if I am gifted with little of the spirit which is able to raise mortals to the skies, I have yet none, as I trust, of that other spirit which would drag angels down.
Daniel Webster
Falsehoods not only disagree with truths, but usually quarrel among themselves.
Daniel Webster
Liberty exists in proportion to wholesome restraint.
Daniel Webster
I regard it (the Constitution) as the work of the purest patriots and wisest statesman that ever existed, aided by the smiles of a benign Providence it almost appears a Divine interposition in our behalf... the hand that destroys our Constitution rends our Union asunder forever.
Daniel Webster
Justice, sir, is the great interest of man on earth. It is the ligament which holds civilized beings and civilized nations together.
Daniel Webster
Man is a special being, and if left to himself, in an isolated condition, would be one of the weakest creatures but associated with his kind, he works wonders.
Daniel Webster
If the true spark of religious and civil liberty be kindled, it will burn.
Daniel Webster
The law: it has honored us may we honor it.
Daniel Webster
I believe that the Bible is to be understood and received in the plain and obvious meaning of its passages for I cannot persuade myself that a book intended for the instruction and conversion of the whole world should cover its true meaning in any such mystery and doubt that none but critics and philosophers can discover it.
