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
Enthusiasm for a cause sometimes warps judgment.
William Howard Taft
The world is not going to be saved by legislation.
William Howard Taft

There is no undefined residuum of power which he can exercise because it seems to him to be in the public interest.

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
One cannot always be sure of the truth of what one hears if he happens to be President of the United States.
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
The true Mason never hesitates to use the working tools to correct personal flaws.
William Howard Taft
Next to the right of liberty, the right of property is the most important individual right guaranteed by the Constitution . .
William Howard Taft
He [Roosevelt] has made some speeches that indicate that he is going quite beyond anything that he advocated when he was in the White House, and has proposed a program which is absolutely impossible to carry out except by a revision of the Constitution.
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 takes full responsibility for the condition of his character and ever strives for its perfection.
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.
