Faith puts God between us and our circumstances.

— Daniel Webster (1782–1852), Staatsmann

Daniel Webster

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.
