More quotes by Daniel Webster
There is always room at the top.
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
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
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
If the Union was formed by accession of States then the Union may be dissolved by the secession of States.
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
Every unpunished murder takes away something from the security of every man's life
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
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
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
I shall oppose all slavery extension and all increase of slave representation in all places, at all times, under all circumstances, even against all inducements, against all supposed limitations of great interests, against all combinations, against all compromises.
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
A solemn and religious regard to spiritual and eternal things is an indispensable element of all true greatness.
Daniel Webster
No man not inspired can make a good speech without preparation.
Daniel Webster
If we abide by the principles taught in the Bible, our country will go on prospering and to prosper but if we and our posterity neglect its instructions and authority, no man can tell how sudden a catastrophe may overwhelm us and bury all our glory in profound obscurity.
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
Of all the contrivances for cheating the laboring classes of mankind, none has been more effective than that which deludes them with paper money.
Daniel Webster
There is not a more dangerous experiment than to place property in the hands of one class, and political power in those of another... If property cannot retain the political power, the political power will draw after it the property.
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 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
