A sense of duty pursues us ever. It is omnipresent, like the Deity. If we take to ourselves the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, duty performed or duty violated is still with us, for our happiness or our misery. If we say the darkness shall cover us, in the darkness as in the light our obligations are yet with us.

Daniel WebsterWhen the spotless ermine of the judicial robe fell on John Jay, it touched nothing less spotless than itself.
Daniel WebsterThe world is governed more by appearance than realities so that it is fully as necessary to seem to know something as to know it.
