On the diffusion of education among the people rest the preservation and perpetuation of our free institutions.
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
I apprehend no danger to our country from a foreign foe... Our destruction, should it come at all, will be from another quarter. From the inattention of the people to the concerns of their government, from their carelessness and negligence, I must confess that I do apprehend some danger.
Daniel Webster
If we work upon marble, it will perish If we work upon brass, time will efface it If we rear temples, they will crumble to dust But if we work upon mens immoral minds And imbue them with high principles, With the just fear of God and love of their fellow man We engrave on those tablets something which no time can efface, And which will brighten and brighten to all eternity.
Daniel Webster
