William Howard Taft
There is no but in it. The way to be an administration Senator is to vote with the Administration.
William Howard Taft

It gives me the greatest pleasure to say, as I do from the bottom of my heart, that never in the history of the country, in any crisis and under any conditions, have our Jewish fellow citizens failed to live up to the highest standards of citizenship and patriotism.
William Howard Taft
Presidents may go to the seashore or to the mountains.

William Howard Taft
I am afraid I am a constant disappointment to my party. The fact of the matter is, the longer I am President the less of a party man I seem to become.
William Howard Taft
The truth is that in my present life I don't remember that I ever was president.
William Howard Taft
I know how irritating it is to have somebody else lay down rules for your moral uplift, but you've got to stand a great deal in order to make progress.
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
A man never knows exactly how the child of his brain will strike other people.
William Howard Taft
I do not believe in the divinity of Christ, and there are many other of the postulates of the orthodox creed to which I cannot subscribe.
