Dave’s Quote of the Day

Mar 18

Posted by

I shall exert every faculty I possess in aiding to prevent the Constitution from being nullified, destroyed, or impaired; and even though I should see it fail, I will still, with a voice feeble, perhaps, but earnest as ever issued from human lips, and with extinguish, call on the people to come to its rescue.

– Daniel Webster

    Daniel Webster – New Hampshire’s favorite son:

    IT’S A STORY THEY TELL IN THE BORDER COUNTRY,
    where Massachusetts joins Vermont and New
    Hampshire.

    Yes, Dan’l Webster’s dead-or, at least, they
    buried him. But every time there’s a thunder
    storm around Marshfield, they say you can hear
    his rolling voice in the hollows of the sky. And
    they say that if you go to his grave and speak
    loud and clear, “Dan’l Webster-Dan’l Web-
    ster!” the ground’ll begin to shiver and the trees
    begin to shake. And after a while you’ll hear a
    deep voice saying, “Neighbor, how stands the
    Union?”

    Then you better answer the Union
    stands as she stood, rock-bottomed and copper
    sheathed, one and indivisible, or he’s liable to
    rear right out of the ground. At least, that’s
    what I was told when I was a youngster.

    “The Devil And Daniel Webster” – Stephen Vincent Benet

    On The Old Man of the Mountain:

    “Men hang out their signs indicative of their respective trades;
    shoe makers hang out a gigantic shoe;
    jewelers a monster watch,
    and the dentist hangs out a gold tooth;

    but up in the Mountains of New Hampshire,
    God Almighty has hung out a sign
    to show that there He makes men.”
