More quotes by Daniel Webster
It is, Sir, as I have said, a small College, And yet, there are those who love it.
Daniel Webster
On the light of Liberty you saw arise the light of Peace, like another morn, Risen on mid-noon and the sky on which you closed your eye was cloudless.
Daniel Webster
Mr. President, I wish to speak today, not as a Massachusetts man, nor as a Northern man, but as an American. I speak for the preservation of the Union. Hear me for my cause.
Daniel Webster
All creeds are fallible and uncertain evidences of evangelical piety.
Daniel Webster
If you divorce capital from labor, capital is hoarded, and labor starves.
Daniel Webster
The Bible is a book of faith, and a book of doctrine, and a book of morals, and a book of religion, of especial revelation from God.
Daniel Webster
I shall enter on no encomium upon Massachusetts she needs none. There she is. Behold her, and judge for yourselves. There is her history the world knows it by heart. The past, at least, is secure. There is Boston and Concord and Lexington and Bunker Hill and there they will remain forever.
Daniel Webster
God grants liberty only to those who love it, and are always ready to guard and defend it.
Daniel Webster
Gentlemen, the character of Washington is among the most cherished contemplations of my life. It is a fixed star in the firmament of great names, shining without twinkling or obscuration, with clear, steady, beneficent light.
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
We have been taught to regard a representative of the people as a sentinel on the watch-tower of liberty.
Daniel Webster
Thank God, I also am an American!
Daniel Webster
There are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters
Daniel Webster
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
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
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
Justice is the great interest of man on earth.
Daniel Webster
Hold on, my friends, to the Constitution of your country and the government established under it. Leave evils which exist in some parts of the country, but which are beyond your control, to the all-wise direction of an over-ruling Providence. Perform those duties which are present, plain and positive. Respect the laws of your country.
Daniel Webster
Liberty exists in proportion to wholesome restraint.
Daniel Webster
Whatever makes men good Christians, makes them good citizens.
Daniel Webster
