More quotes by Daniel Webster

Image
Failure is more frequently from want of energy than want of capital.
Daniel Webster
Image
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

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
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
Image
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.

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
Image
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
Image
Let us thank God that we live in an age when something has influence besides the bayonet.
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.

The States are nations.
Daniel Webster
Image
Whatever makes men good Christians, makes them good citizens.
Daniel Webster
Image
The most important thought that ever occupied my mind is that of my individual responsibility to God.
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
If the true spark of religious and civil liberty be kindled, it will burn.
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
It is, Sir, as I have said, a small College, And yet, there are those who love it.
Daniel Webster
Image
A solemn and religious regard to spiritual and eternal things is an indispensable element of all true greatness.
Daniel Webster
Image
Justice, sir, is the great interest of man on earth. It is the ligament which holds civilized beings and civilized nations together.
Daniel Webster
Image
We may be tossed upon an ocean where we can see no land - nor, perhaps, the sun or stars. But there is a chart and a compass for us to study, to consult, and to obey. That chart is the Constitution.
