More quotes by William Jennings Bryan
Evolution seems to close the heart to some of the plainest spiritual truths while it opens the mind to the wildest guesses advanced in the name of science.
William Jennings Bryan
We can exterminate Ku Kluxism better by recognizing their honesty and teaching them that they are wrong.
William Jennings Bryan
None so little enjoy themselves, and are such burdens to themselves, as those who have nothing to do. Only the active have the true relish of life.
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
Whenever one refuses to admit such a self-evident truth, for instance, as that it is wrong to steal, don't argue with him-search him the reason may be found in his pocket.
William Jennings Bryan
No greater victory can be won by citizens or soldiers than to transform temporary foes into permanent friends.
William Jennings Bryan
If God himself was not willing to use coercion to force man to accept certain religious views, man, uninspired and liable to error, ought not to use the means that Jehovah would not employ.
William Jennings Bryan
The chief duty of governments, in so far as they are coercive, is to restrain those who would interfere with the inalienable rights of the individual, among which are the right to life, the right to liberty, the right to the pursuit of happiness and the right to worship God according to the dictates of ones conscience.
William Jennings Bryan
Eloquent speech is not from lip to ear, but rather from heart to heart.
William Jennings Bryan
The parents have a right to say that no teacher paid by their money shall rob their children of faith in God and send them back to their homes skeptical, or infidels, or agnostics, or atheists.
William Jennings Bryan
If we steal a man's purse we are thieves. If we steal twelve hundred islands we are patriots. If you steal a man's money you will be sent to the penitentiary. If you steal his liberty you will be sent to the White House.
William Jennings Bryan
Two people in a conversation amount to four people talking. The four are what one person says, what he really wanted to say, what his listener heard, and what he thought he heard.
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
All the ills from which America suffers can be traced back to the teaching of evolution. It would be better to destroy every other book ever written, and save just the first three verses of Genesis.
William Jennings Bryan
You shall not crucify mankind upon a cross of gold.
William Jennings Bryan
Real estate is the best investment for small savings. More money is made from the rise in real estate values than from all other causes combined.
William Jennings Bryan
If we desire rules to govern our spiritual development we turn back to the Sermon on the Mount.
William Jennings Bryan
If evolution wins, Christianity goes!
William Jennings Bryan
If that vital spark that we find in a grain of wheat can pass unchanged through countless deaths and resurrections, will the spirit of man be unable to pass from this body to another?
William Jennings Bryan
All the ills from which America suffers can be traced to the teaching of evolution.
