More quotes by William Jennings Bryan
If you want criticisms, read the dissenting opinions of the Court. That will give you criticisms.
William Jennings Bryan
A corporation has no rights except those given it by law. It can exercise no power except that conferred upon it by the people through legislation, and the people should be as free to withhold as to give, public interest and not private advantage being the end in view.
William Jennings Bryan
A man who murders another shortens by a few brief years the life of a human being but he who votes to increase the burden of debts upon the people of the United States assumes a graver responsibility.
William Jennings Bryan

William Jennings Bryan

Wars are sometimes waged to extend trade-the blood of many being shed to enrich a few.
William Jennings Bryan
We have our thoughts, our hopes, our fears, and yet we know that in a moment a change may come over any one of us that will convert a living, breathing human being into a mass of lifeless clay.
William Jennings Bryan
Our government conceived in freedom and purchased with blood can be preserved only by constant vigilance.
William Jennings Bryan
Selfish interest is one of the most common obstructions to the advance of truth.
William Jennings Bryan
The first thing to understand is the difference between the natural person and the fictitious person called a corporation. They differ in the purpose for which they are created, in the strength which they possess, and in the restraints under which they act.
William Jennings Bryan
If it weren't for the lawyers we wouldn't need them.
William Jennings Bryan
The greatest things ever done on Earth have been done little by little.
William Jennings Bryan
The people of Nebraska are for free silver and I am for free silver. I will look up the arguments later.
William Jennings Bryan
Christ has made of death a narrow starlit strip between the companionships of yesterday and the reunions of tomorrow.
