Top 5 quotes from Daniel Webster
"There are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters."
"It is my living sentiment, and by the blessing of God it shall be my dying sentiment, independence now and independence forever."
"An unlimited power to tax involves, necessarily, the power to destroy."
"Our destruction, should it come at all, will be from another quarter. From the inattention of the people to the concerns of their government."
"The world is governed more by appearances than realities, so that it is fully as necessary to seem to know something as to know it."
Top 5 quotes from Miscellaneous
"Sex and creativity are often seen by dictators as subversive activities."
"Everything in the world may be endured except continued prosperity."
"Man has almost constant occasion for the help of his brethren, and it is in vain for him to expect it from their benevolence only."
"Every individual...generally, indeed, neither intends to promote the public interest, nor knows how much he is promoting it. By preferring the support of domestic to that of foreign industry he intends only his own security; and by directing that industry in such a manner as its produce may be of the greatest value, he intends only his own gain, and he is in this, as in many other cases, led by an invisible hand to promote an end which was no part of his intention."
"My second favorite household chore is ironing. My first being hitting my head on the top bunk bed until I faint."
