More quotes by William Howard Taft

William Howard Taft
We are all imperfect. We can not expect perfect government.
William Howard Taft
A government is for the benefit of all the people.
William Howard Taft
We must dare to be great and we must realize that greatness is the fruit of toil and sacrifice and high courage.

William Howard Taft
What I am anxious to do is to secure my legislation.... What I want to do is to get through that, and if I can point to a record of usefulness of that kind, I am entirely willing to quit office.
William Howard Taft
The Government is able to afford a suitable army and a suitable navy. It may maintain them without the slightest danger to the Republic or the cause of free institutions, and fear of additional taxation ought not to change a proper policy in this regard.
William Howard Taft
I don't know whither we are drifting, but I do know where every real thinking patriot will stand in the end, and that's by the Constitution.
William Howard Taft
The laboring man and the trade-unionist, if I understand him, asks only equality before the law. Class legislation and unequal privilege, though expressly in his favor, will in the end work no benefit to him or to society.
William Howard Taft
As the Republican platforms says, the welfare of the farmer is vital to that of the whole country.
William Howard Taft
The true Mason is ever vigilant for subtle traces of character and personality flaws which daily experience brings out.
