More quotes by 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
Falsehoods not only disagree with truths, but usually quarrel among themselves.
Daniel Webster
Failure is more frequently from want of energy than want of capital.
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
There is always room at the top.
Daniel Webster
I was born an American I will live an American I shall die an American.
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
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
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
No man not inspired can make a good speech without preparation.
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
Our profession is good, if practiced in the spirit of it it is damnable fraud and iniquity when its true spirit is supplied by a spirit of mischief-making and money catching.
Daniel Webster
I am committed against every thing which in my judgment, may weaken, endanger, or destroy (the Constitution) ... and especially against all extension of Executive power and I am committed against any attempt to rule the free people of this country by the power and the patronage of the Government itself.
Daniel Webster
When the spotless ermine of the judicial robe fell on John Jay, it touched nothing less spotless than itself.
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
One may live as a conqueror, a king, or a magistrate but he must die a man. The bed of death brings every human being to his pure individuality, to the intense contemplation of that deepest and most solemn of all relations - the relations between the creature and his Creator.
Daniel Webster
If you divorce capital from labor, capital is hoarded, and labor starves.
Daniel Webster
The law: it has honored us may we honor it.
Daniel Webster
Nothing of character is really permanent but virtue and personal worth.
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
