More quotes by William Howard Taft
The secrecy of Masonry is an honorable secrecy any good man may ask for her secrets those who are worthy will receive them. To give them to those who do not seek, or who are not worthy, would but impoverish the Fraternity and enrich not those who received them.
William Howard Taft
The precepts of the Gospel were universally the obligations of Masonry.
William Howard Taft
Politics, when I am in it, makes me sick.
William Howard Taft
We have passed the time of ... the laisser-faire [sic] school which believes that the government ought to do nothing but run a police force.
William Howard Taft
Too many people don't care what happens so long as it doesn't happen to them.
William Howard Taft
The true Mason is ever vigilant for subtle traces of character and personality flaws which daily experience brings out.
William Howard Taft
Anti-Semitism is a noxious weed that should be cut out. It has no place in America.
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
The Masonic system represents a stupendous and beautiful fabric, founded on universal purity, to rule and direct our passions, to have faith and love in God, and charity toward man.
William Howard Taft
I do not know much about politics, but I am trying to do the best I can with this administration until the time shall come for me to turn it over to somebody else.
William Howard Taft
That all may be so, but when I begin to exercise that power I am not conscious of the power, but only of the limitations imposed on me.
William Howard Taft
A man never knows exactly how the child of his brain will strike other people.
William Howard Taft
We are all imperfect. We can not expect perfect government.
William Howard Taft
The underlying principle of Masonry is the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man. In this war we are engaging in upholding these principles and our enemies are attacking them.
William Howard Taft
The real secrets of Masonry are never told, not even from mouth to ear. For the real secret of Masonry is spoken to your heart and from it to the heart of your brother. Never the language made for tongue may speak it, it is uttered only in the eye in those manifestations of that love which a man has for his friend, which passeth all other loves.
William Howard Taft
I have come to the conclusion that the major part of the president is to increase the gate receipts of expositions and fairs and bring tourists to town.
William Howard Taft
The game of baseball is a clean, straight game.
William Howard Taft
One of the reforms to be carried out during the incoming administration is a change in our monetary and banking laws, so as to secure greater elasticity in the forms of currency available for trade and to prevent the limitations of law from operating to increase the embarrassment of a financial panic.
William Howard Taft
The true Mason's level of discernment increases with every use of the working tools, because the true Mason is ever working on him/her self.
William Howard Taft
We can't have a decent government unless those in power exercise self restraint.
William Howard Taft
