The Truth Is Always The Truth...!


I found these quotes from Daniel Webster that I wanted to share.

Why Daniel Webster, you say? Because I believe him to be one of the greatest statesman of his time. What he said back then applies to the current state of our affairs. In fact, these statements may be more relevant today than ever!

When great men make statements regarding freedom and liberty, those statements never grow old, never go out of style. That's the way it should be. After all, truth is always the truth, it never changes. The only that ever changes about the truth is our ability to recognise it.

Let us not forget that the cultivation of the earth is the most important labor of man. When tillage begins, other arts will follow. The farmers, therefore, are the founders of civilization.
Daniel Webster

The contest for ages has been to rescue liberty from the grasp of executive power.

Daniel Webster

We are all agents of the same supreme power, the people.

Daniel Webster

We have been taught to regard a representative of the people as a sentinel on the watch-tower of liberty.

Daniel Webster

What a man does for others, not what they do for him, gives him immortality.

Daniel Webster

God grants liberty only to those who love it, and are always ready to guard and defend it.

Daniel Webster

He who tampers with the currency robs labor of its bread.

Daniel Webster

One country, one constitution, one destiny.

Daniel Webster

The people's government, made for the people, made by the people, and answerable to the people.

Daniel Webster

Can you see the clarity of what this man said? Do you understand why I think he was a great statesman? I know you can see the truth in what he says, surely!

Now my friend...let's get some fresh coffee, sit together on the patio, and breath in the fragrant and wonderful smell of freedom!
