“If we work marble, it will perish; if we work upon brass, time will efface it; if we rear temples, they will crumble into dust; but if we work upon immortal minds and instill into them just principles, we are then engraving upon tablets which no time will efface, but will brighten and brighten to all eternity.”
— Daniel Webster, Statesman

「我们若在大理石动工,它会自然损坏;我们若在铜器动工,时间也会将之抹去;我们若建造庙宇,它也会崩裂为尘土。我们若在不死的心灵动工,并灌输公平的原则,这如同在石板上雕刻,它不会被时间抹去,且将永远发光发亮。」– 丹尼尔‧韦伯斯特 (政治家)
