William Howard Taft
We live in a stage of politics, where legislators seem to regard the passage of laws as much more important than the results of their enforcement.
William Howard Taft
Enthusiasm for a cause sometimes warps judgment.
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.

A government is for the benefit of all the people.
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
If they will play fair I will play fair, but if they won't then I reserve all my rights to do anything I find myself able to do.

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 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
We are imperfect. We cannot expect perfect government.
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
Politics make me sick
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
Substantial progress toward better things can rarely be taken without developing new evils requiring new remedies.
William Howard Taft
We, as Unitarians, may feel that the world is coming our way.
