More quotes by William Howard Taft
If this humor be the safety of our race, then it is due largely to the infusion into the American people of the Irish brain.
William Howard Taft
Masonry aims at the promotion of morality and higher living by the cultivation of the social side of man, the rousing in him of the instincts of charity and love of his kind. It rests surely on the foundation of the brotherhood of man and the fatherhood of God.
William Howard Taft
No tendency is quite so strong in human nature as the desire to lay down rules of conduct for other people.
William Howard Taft
A government is for the benefit of all the people.
William Howard Taft
Don't worry over what the newspapers say. I don't. Why should anyone else? I told the truth to the newspaper correspondents - but when you tell the truth to them they are at sea.
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 world is not going to be saved by legislation.
William Howard Taft
Presidents may go to the seashore or to the mountains. Cabinet officers may go about the country explaining how fortunate the country is in having such an administration, but the machinery at Washington continues to operate under the army of faithful non-commissioned officers, and the great mass of governmental business is uninterrupted.
William Howard Taft
The true Mason always carries his working tools everywhere.
William Howard Taft
We are imperfect. We cannot expect perfect government.
William Howard Taft
A system in which we may have an enforced rest from legislation for two years is not bad.
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
We are all dependent upon the investment of capital.
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.
William Howard Taft
The true Mason never hesitates to use the working tools to correct personal flaws.
William Howard Taft
I'll be damned if I am not getting tired of this. It seems to be the profession of a President simply to hear other people talk.
William Howard Taft
The City that knows how.
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
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
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.
