01c. 1815 AD

As down in the sunless retreats of the ocean Sweet flowers are springing no mortal can see, So deep in my soul the still prayer of devotion, Unheard by the world, rises silent to Thee. As still to the star of its worship, though clouded, The needle points faithfully o'er the dim sea, So dark when I roam in this wintry world shrouded, The hope of my spirit turns trembling to Thee.

Thomas Moore / quote

02c. 1815 AD

But Faith, fanatic Faith, once wedded fast To some dear falsehood, hugs it to the last.

Thomas Moore / quote

03c. 1817 AD

We wish that this column, rising towards heaven among the pointed spires of so many temples dedicated to God, may contribute also to produce in all minds a pious feeling of dependence and gratitude. We wish, finally, that the last object to the sight of him who leaves his native shore, and the first to gladden his who revisits it, may be something which shall remind him of the liberty and the glory of his country. Let it rise! let it rise, till it meet the sun in his coming; let the earliest light of the morning gild it, and parting day linger and play on its summit!

Daniel Webster / quote

Daniel Webster / quote

08c. 1817 AD

God grants liberty only to those who love it, and are always ready to guard and defend it.

Daniel Webster / quote

09c. 1825 AD

A weapon that comes down as still As snowflakes fall upon the sod; But executes a freeman's will, As lightning does the will of God; And from its force nor doors nor locks Can shield you,—'t is the ballot-box.

John Pierpont / quote

From every place below the skies The grateful song, the fervent prayer,— The incense of the heart,—may rise To heaven, and find acceptance there.

Farewell! if ever fondest prayer For other's weal avail'd on high, Mine will not all be lost in air, But waft thy name beyond the sky.

Ay, call it holy ground, The soil where first they trod: They have left unstained what there they found,— Freedom to worship God.

Calm on the bosom of thy God, Fair spirit, rest thee now!

Felicia D. Hemans / quote

You shall not pile, with servile toil, Your monuments upon my breast, Nor yet within the common soil Lay down the wreck of power to rest, Where man can boast that he has trod On him that was "the scourge of God."
