William Howard Taft
I don't know whither we are drifting, but I do know where every real thinking patriot will stand in the end, and that's by the Constitution.

William Howard Taft
We passed the Children's Bureau bill calculated to prevent children from being employed too early in factories.
William Howard Taft
A system in which we may have an enforced rest from legislation for two years is not bad.
William Howard Taft
As a people, we have the problem of making our forests outlast this generation, or iron outlast this century, and our coal the next not merely as a matter of convenience or comfort, but as a matter of stern necessity.
William Howard Taft
There is no legislation--I care not what it is--tariff, railroads, corporations, or of a general political character, that all equals in importance the putting of our banking and currency system on the sound basis proposed in the National Monetary Commission plan.
William Howard Taft
The true Mason is ever vigilant for subtle traces of character and personality flaws which daily experience brings out.
