More quotes by Daniel Webster

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
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
Thank God, I also am an American!
Daniel Webster
The bible fits man for life and prepares him for death
Daniel Webster
It is no monopoly in any other sense than as a man's own house is a monopoly. But a man's right to his own invention is a very different matter. It is no more a monopoly for him to possess that, than to possess his own homestead .
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
Our destruction, should it come at all, will be from...the inattention of the people to the concerns of their government, from their carelessness and negligence.
Daniel Webster
Of all the contrivances for cheating the laboring classes of mankind, none has been more effective than that which deludes them with paper money.
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
The people's government, made for the people, made by the people, and answerable to the people.
