William Jennings Bryan
When I find a man who is not willing to pay his share of the burden of the government which protects him, I find a man who is unworthy to enjoy the blessings of a government like ours.
William Jennings Bryan
If we have to give up either religion or education, we should give up education.
William Jennings Bryan
The wisdom of the Bible writers is more than human the prophecies proclaim a Supreme Ruler who, though inhabiting all space, deigns to speak through the hearts and minds and tongues of His children.
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

William Jennings Bryan
Patriotism is a mystery-intangible, invisible, and yet eternal.
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
Love makes money-grabbing seem contemptible love makes class prejudice impossible love makes selfish ambition a thing to be despised love converts enemies into friends.
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
As long as there are human rights to be defended as long as there are great interests to be guarded as long as the welfare of nations is a matter for discussion, so long will public speaking have its place.
William Jennings Bryan
I can not wish you success in your effort to reject the treaty because while it may win the fight it may destroy our cause. My plan cannot fail if the people are with us and we ought not to succeed unless we do have the people with us.
William Jennings Bryan
Facts mean nothing unless they are rightly understood, rightly related and rightly interpreted.
William Jennings Bryan
Greed is at the bottom of most of the wrong-doing with which government has to deal.
William Jennings Bryan
When we advocate a thing which we believe will be successful we are not compelled to raise a doubt as to our own sincerity by trying to show what we will do if we are wrong.
William Jennings Bryan
Christ has made of death a narrow starlit strip between the companionships of yesterday and the reunions of tomorrow.
William Jennings Bryan
Principles are eternal.
William Jennings Bryan
There is no more reason to believe that man descended from an inferior animal than there is to believe that a stately mansion has descended from a small cottage.
William Jennings Bryan
Destiny is no matter of chance. It is a matter of choice. It is not a thing to be waited for, it is a thing to be achieved.
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
