More quotes by Daniel Webster
On the other hand, the cultivation of the religious sentiment represses licentiousnessinspires respect for law and order, and gives strength to the whole social fabric, at the same time that it conducts the human soul upward to the Author of its being.
Daniel Webster
Employment gives health, sobriety, and morals.
Daniel Webster
Every breeze wafts intelligence from country to country, every wave rolls it and gives it forth, and all in turn receive it. There is a vast commerce of ideas, there are marts and exchanges for intellectual discoveries, and a wonderful fellowship of those individual intelligences which make up the minds and opinions of the age.
Daniel Webster
If you divorce capital from labor, capital is hoarded, and labor starves.
Daniel Webster
There is no happiness, there is no liberty, there is no enjoyment of life, unless a man can say, when he rises in the morning, I shall be subject to the decision of no unwise judge today.
Daniel Webster
When the spotless ermine of the judicial robe fell on John Jay, it touched nothing less spotless than itself.
Daniel Webster
If the States were not left to leave the Union when their rights were interfered with, the government would have been National, but the Convention refused to baptize it by that name.
Daniel Webster
Liberty exists in proportion to wholesome restraint.
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
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
The States are nations.
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 bible fits man for life and prepares him for death
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
God grants liberty only to those who love it, and are always ready to guard and defend it.
Daniel Webster
Corruption of morals is rapid enough in any country without a bounty from government. And...the Chief Magistrate of the United States should be the last man to accelerate its progress.
Daniel Webster
Failure is more frequently from want of energy than want of capital.
Daniel Webster
The people's government, made for the people, made by the people, and answerable to the people.
Daniel Webster
Falsehoods not only disagree with truths, but usually quarrel among themselves.
Daniel Webster
The dignity of history consists in reciting events with truth and accuracy, and in presenting human agents and their actions in an interesting and instructive form. The first element in history, therefore, is truthfulness and this truthfulness must be displayed in a concrete form.
Daniel Webster
