Let us thank God that we live in an age when something has influence besides the bayonet.
Daniel Webster
Image
Let our object be - our country, our whole country, and nothing but our country. And by the blessing of God, may that country itself become a vast and splendid monument - not of oppression and terror, but of wisdom, of Peace, and of Liberty, upon which the world may gaze with admiration forever.
Daniel Webster
Image
A strong conviction that something must be done is the parent of many bad measures.
Daniel Webster
Image
God grants liberty only to those who love it, and are always ready to guard and defend it.
Daniel Webster

No man not inspired can make a good speech without preparation.
Daniel Webster

Thank God, I also am an American!

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.
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

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.
