More quotes by Daniel Webster
I still live. Pretty.
Daniel Webster

Daniel Webster
We have been taught to regard a representative of the people as a sentinel on the watch-tower of liberty.
Daniel Webster
Let our object be - our country, our whole country, and nothing but our country. And by the blessing of God, may that country itself become a vast and splendid monument - not of oppression and terror, but of wisdom, of Peace, and of Liberty, upon which the world may gaze with admiration forever.
Daniel Webster
It is, Sir, as I have said, a small College, And yet, there are those who love it.
Daniel Webster

Daniel Webster
I was born an American I will live an American I shall die an American.
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
The people's government, made for the people, made by the people, and answerable to the people.
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
Justice, sir, is the great interest of man on earth. It is the ligament which holds civilized beings and civilized nations together.
Daniel Webster
When the spotless ermine of the judicial robe fell on John Jay, it touched nothing less spotless than itself.
Daniel Webster
If we cherish the virtues and the principles of our fathers, Heaven will assist us to carry on the work of human liberty and human happiness. Auspicious omens cheer us. Great examples are before us. Our own firmament now shines brightly upon our path.
Daniel Webster
A solemn and religious regard to spiritual and eternal things is an indispensable element of all true greatness.
Daniel Webster
The most important thought that ever occupied my mind is that of my individual responsibility to God.
Daniel Webster
