Famous quotes containing the words daniel webster, daniel, webster and/or highway:

    I was born an American; I will live an American; I shall die an American.
    Daniel Webster (1782–1852)

    And who in time knowes whither we may vent
    The treasure of our tongue, to what strange shores
    This gaine of our best glorie shal be sent,
    T’inrich unknowing Nations with our stores?
    What worlds in th’yet unformed Occident
    May come refin’d with th’accents that are ours?
    —Samuel Daniel (c. 1562–1619)

    Heaven-gates are not so highly arched
    As princes’ palaces: they that enter there
    Must go upon their knees.
    —John Webster (1580–1625)

    In one notable instance, where the United States Army and a hundred years of persuasion failed, a highway has succeeded. The Seminole Indians surrendered to the Tamiami Trail. From the Everglades the remnants of this race emerged, soon after the trail was built, to set up their palm-thatched villages along the road and to hoist tribal flags as a lure to passing motorists.
    —For the State of Florida, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
