Daniel Webster (1782–1852) war ein US-amerikanischer Jurist, Senator und Außenminister, der in Boston und Washington das Verfassungsverständnis der jungen Republik mitprägte. Bekannt wurde er als wortmächtiger Verteidiger des Erhalts der amerikanischen Union, geriet jedoch durch seine Unterstützung des Kompromisses von 1850 samt dem Fugitive Slave Act in scharfe Kritik von Sklavereigegnern. Für Bibelleser ist er durch Zitate präsent, die das Evangelium und biblische Grundwerte als unverzichtbares Fundament für Recht, Freiheit und Staatswesen hervorheben.

Quotes by Daniel Webster
Faith puts God between us and our circumstances.
Daniel Webster
One may live as a conqueror, a king or a magistrate; but he must die as a man.
Daniel Webster
Heaven's gates are not so highly arched as princes' palaces; they that enter there must go upon their knees.
Daniel Webster
The bible fits man for life and prepares him for death.
Daniel Webster
The Sermon on the Mount cannot be a merely human production. This belief enters into the very depth of my conscience. The whole history of man proves it.
Daniel Webster
The Bible is a book of faith, and a book of doctrine, and a book of morals, and a book of religion, of especial revelation from God.
Daniel Webster
If we abide by the principles taught by the Bible, our country will go on prospering.
Daniel Webster
Let us cherish these sentiments, and extend this influence still more widely; in the full conviction, that that is the happiest society which partakes in the highest degree of the mild and peaceful spirit of Christianity.
Daniel Webster
If God and His Word are not known and received, the devil and his works will gain the ascendency; if the evangelical volume does not reach every hamlet, the pages of a corrupt and licentious literature will.
Daniel Webster
If religious books are not widely circulated among the masses in this country, I do not know what is going to become of us as a nation. If truth is not diffused – error will be. If God and His Word are not known and received – the devil and his works will gain the ascendancy. If the evangelical volume does not reach every hamlet – the pages of a corrupt and licentious literature will. If the power of the Gospel is not felt throughout the length and breadth of the land – anarchy and misrule, degradation and misery, corruption and darkness, will reign without mitigation or end.
Daniel Webster
If the power of the Gospel is not felt throughout the length and breadth of the land, anarchy and misrule, degradation and misery, corruption and darkness will reign without mitigation or end.
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
A man with no sense of religious duty is he whom the Scriptures describe in such terse but terrific language, as living 'without God in the world.' Such a man is out of his proper being, out of the circle of all his duties, out of the circle of all his happiness, and away, far, far away, from the purposes of his creation.
