"If we work on marble it will perish.……" — Daniel Webster

"If we work on marble it will perish. If we work on brass, time will efface it. If we raise temples, they will crumble to dust. But if we work on men's immortal minds, if we imbue them with high principles, with just fear of God and love of their fellow-men, we engrave on those tablets something which time cannot efface, and which will brighten and brighten to all eternity."

Daniel Webster
