Daniel Webster on Patriotism

“Thank God, I—I also—am an American!”

“I was born an American; I live an American; I shall die an American!”

“Let our object be, our country, our whole country, and nothing but our country.”

“Sink or swim, live or die, survive or perish, I give my hand and heart to this vote.”
