More quotes by Daniel Webster
God grants liberty only to those who love it, and are always ready to guard and defend it.
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
There is no happiness, there is no liberty, there is no enjoyment of life, unless a man can say, when he rises in the morning, I shall be subject to the decision of no unwise judge today.
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

Daniel Webster

Daniel Webster
What is valuable is not new, and what is new is not valuable.
Daniel Webster
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
On the other hand, the cultivation of the religious sentiment represses licentiousnessinspires respect for law and order, and gives strength to the whole social fabric, at the same time that it conducts the human soul upward to the Author of its being.
Daniel Webster
The contest for ages has been to rescue liberty from the grasp of executive power.
Daniel Webster
I was born an American I will live an American I shall die an American.
Daniel Webster
If you divorce capital from labor, capital is hoarded, and labor starves.
Daniel Webster
I still live. Pretty.
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
Let us thank God that we live in an age when something has influence besides the bayonet.
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.
