More quotes by Daniel Webster
I still live. Pretty.
Daniel Webster
Nothing of character is really permanent but virtue and personal worth.
Daniel Webster
Corruption of morals is rapid enough in any country without a bounty from government. And...the Chief Magistrate of the United States should be the last man to accelerate its progress.
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
It is, Sir, as I have said, a small College, And yet, there are those who love it.
Daniel Webster
The dignity of history consists in reciting events with truth and accuracy, and in presenting human agents and their actions in an interesting and instructive form. The first element in history, therefore, is truthfulness and this truthfulness must be displayed in a concrete form.
Daniel Webster
The people's government, made for the people, made by the people, and answerable to the people.
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
There is not a more dangerous experiment than to place property in the hands of one class, and political power in those of another... If property cannot retain the political power, the political power will draw after it the property.
Daniel Webster
If the true spark of religious and civil liberty be kindled, it will burn.
Daniel Webster
Justice is the great interest of man on earth.
Daniel Webster
Keep cool anger is not an argument.
Daniel Webster
If you divorce capital from labor, capital is hoarded, and labor starves.
Daniel Webster
Employment gives health, sobriety, and morals.
Daniel Webster
Let us thank God that we live in an age when something has influence besides the bayonet.
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
All creeds are fallible and uncertain evidences of evangelical piety.
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
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
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
