More quotes by Daniel Webster
A solemn and religious regard to spiritual and eternal things is an indispensable element of all true greatness.
Daniel Webster
It is, Sir, as I have said, a small College, And yet, there are those who love it.
Daniel Webster
..if the Northern states refuse, willfully and deliberately, to carry into effect that part of the Constitution which respects the restoration of fugitive slaves, and Congress provide no remedy, the South would no longer be bound to observe the compact. A bargain can not be broken on one side, and still bind the other side.
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
If the true spark of religious and civil liberty be kindled, it will burn.
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
Nothing of character is really permanent but virtue and personal worth.
Daniel Webster
Every unpunished murder takes away something from the security of every man's life
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.
Daniel Webster
The States are nations.
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
If the Union was formed by accession of States then the Union may be dissolved by the secession of States.
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
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
A country cannot subsist well without liberty, nor liberty without virtue.
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
All creeds are fallible and uncertain evidences of evangelical piety.
Daniel Webster
If we cherish the virtues and the principles of our fathers, Heaven will assist us to carry on the work of human liberty and human happiness. Auspicious omens cheer us. Great examples are before us. Our own firmament now shines brightly upon our path.
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
Now is the time when men work quietly in the fields and women weep softly in the kitchen the legislature is in session and no man's property is safe.
Daniel Webster
