Falsehoods not only disagree with truths, but usually quarrel among themselves.
Daniel Webster
Image
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
Image
If the true spark of religious and civil liberty be kindled, it will burn.
Daniel Webster
Image
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
Image
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
Image
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
Image
If all my talents and powers were to be taken from me by some unscrutable Providence, and I had my choice of keeping but one, I would unhesitatingly ask for be allowed to keep the Power of Speaking, for through it I would quickly recover all the rest.
Daniel Webster
Image
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
Image
A sense of duty pursues us ever. It is omnipresent, like the Deity. If we take to ourselves the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, duty performed or duty violated is still with us, for our happiness or our misery. If we say the darkness shall cover us, in the darkness as in the light our obligations are yet with us.
Daniel Webster
Image
America has furnished to the world the character of Washington. And if our American institutions had done nothing else, that alone would have entitled them to the respect of mankind.
Daniel Webster
Image
The contest for ages has been to rescue liberty from the grasp of executive power.
Daniel Webster
Image
Keep cool anger is not an argument.
Daniel Webster
Image
If you divorce capital from labor, capital is hoarded, and labor starves.
Daniel Webster
Image
Labor in this country is independent and proud. It has not to ask the patronage of capital, but capital solicits the aid of labor.
