More quotes by William Howard Taft
I am in favor of helping the prosperity of all countries because, when we are all prosperous, the trade with each becomes more valuable to the other.
William Howard Taft
I know this, and I know it from actual experience in the Orient, that the progress of modern Christian civilization has largely depended on the earnest hard work of the Christian missions of every denomination.
William Howard Taft
Too many people don't care what happens so long as it doesn't happen to them.
William Howard Taft
There is not a subject in which I take a deeper interest than I do in the development of Alaska, and I propose, if Congress will follow by recommendations, to do something in that territory that will make it move on.
William Howard Taft
Repeat mantra: Donuts are not vitamins, donuts are not.
William Howard Taft
We can't have a decent government unless those in power exercise self restraint.
William Howard Taft

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
The true Mason is ever vigilant for subtle traces of character and personality flaws which daily experience brings out.
William Howard Taft

William Howard Taft
A man never knows exactly how the child of his brain will strike other people.
William Howard Taft
The City that knows how.
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
Anti-Semitism is a noxious weed that should be cut out. It has no place in America.
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
The policy of dollar diplomacy is one that appeals alike to idealistic humanitarian sentiments, to dictates of sound policy, and strategy, and to legitimate commercial aims.
William Howard Taft
I sincerely hope that the incoming Congress will be alive, as it should be, to the importance of our foreign trade and of encouraging it in every way feasible. The possibility of increasing this trade in the Orient, in the Philippines, and in South America is known to everyone who has given the matter attention.
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
Anyone who has taken the oath I have just taken must feel a heavy weight of responsibility. If not, he has no conception of the powers and duties of the office.
William Howard Taft
We are imperfect. We cannot expect perfect government.
William Howard Taft
