More quotes by William Howard Taft
We, as Unitarians, may feel that the world is coming our way.
William Howard Taft
The secret of Masonry, like the secret of life, can be known only by those who seek it, serve it, live it. It cannot be uttered it can only be felt and acted. It is, in fact, an open secret, and each man knows it according to his quest and capacity. Like all things worth knowing, no one can know it for another and no man can know it alone.
William Howard Taft
As the Republican platforms says, the welfare of the farmer is vital to that of the whole country.
William Howard Taft
Action for which I become responsible, or for which my administration becomes responsible, shall be within the law.

The diplomacy of the present administration has sought to respond to the modern idea of commercial intercourse. This policy has been characterized as substituting dollars for bullets.
William Howard Taft
The judiciary has fallen to a very low state in this country. I think your part of the country has suffered especially. The federal judges of the South are a disgrace to any country, and I'll be damned if I put any man on the bench of whose character and ability there is the least doubt.
William Howard Taft
A government is for the benefit of all the people.
William Howard Taft
One cannot always be sure of the truth of what one hears if he happens to be President of the United States.
William Howard Taft
The President cannot make clouds to rain and cannot make the corn to grow. He cannot make business good, although when these things occur, political parties do claim some credit for the good things that have happened in this way
William Howard Taft
Next to the right of liberty, the right of property is the most important individual right guaranteed by the Constitution . .
William Howard Taft
As a people, we have the problem of making our forests outlast this generation, or iron outlast this century, and our coal the next not merely as a matter of convenience or comfort, but as a matter of stern necessity.
William Howard Taft
He [Roosevelt] has made some speeches that indicate that he is going quite beyond anything that he advocated when he was in the White House, and has proposed a program which is absolutely impossible to carry out except by a revision of the Constitution.
William Howard Taft
We shall have to begin all over again. [Taft hoped that] the Senators might change their minds, or that the people might change the Senate instead of which they changed me.
William Howard Taft
