More quotes by 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
What is valuable is not new, and what is new is not valuable.
Daniel Webster
The hand that destroys the Constitution rends our Union asunder forever.
Daniel Webster
The contest for ages has been to rescue liberty from the grasp of executive power.
Daniel Webster
The freest government, if it could exist, would not be long acceptable, if the tendency of the laws were to create a rapid accumulation of property in a few hands, and to render the great mass of the population dependent and penniless.
Daniel Webster
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
I still live. Pretty.
Daniel Webster
Keep cool anger is not an argument.
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

Daniel Webster
The most important thought that ever occupied my mind is that of my individual responsibility to God.
Daniel Webster
No man not inspired can make a good speech without preparation.
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
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
The people's government, made for the people, made by the people, and answerable to the people.
Daniel Webster
If we abide by the principles taught in the Bible, our country will go on prospering and to prosper but if we and our posterity neglect its instructions and authority, no man can tell how sudden a catastrophe may overwhelm us and bury all our glory in profound obscurity.
Daniel Webster
A solemn and religious regard to spiritual and eternal things is an indispensable element of all true greatness.
Daniel Webster
The inherent right in the people to reform their government, I do not deny and they have another right, and that is to resist unconstitutional laws without overturning the government.
Daniel Webster
I regard it (the Constitution) as the work of the purest patriots and wisest statesman that ever existed, aided by the smiles of a benign Providence it almost appears a Divine interposition in our behalf... the hand that destroys our Constitution rends our Union asunder forever.
