More quotes by 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
This nation is able to legislate for its own people on every question, without waiting for the aid or consent of any other nation on earth.
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
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
My place in history will depend on what I can do for the people and not on what the people can do for me.
William Jennings Bryan
Nation after nation, when at the zenith of its power, has proclaimed itself invincible because its army could shake the earth with its tread and its ships could fill the seas, but these nations are dead, and we must build upon a different foundation if we would avoid their fate.
William Jennings Bryan
If evolution wins, Christianity goes!
William Jennings Bryan
Never be afraid to stand with the minority when the minority is right, for the minority which is right will one day be the majority.
William Jennings Bryan
The poor man who takes property by force is called a thief, but the creditor who can by legislation make a debtor pay a dollar twice as large as he borrowed is lauded as the friend of a sound currency. The man who wants the people to destroy the Government is an anarchist, but the man who wants the Government to destroy the people is a patriot.
William Jennings Bryan
An orator is a man who says what he thinks and feels what he says.
William Jennings Bryan
Only those who believe attempt the seemingly impossible.
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
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
Our government conceived in freedom and purchased with blood can be preserved only by constant vigilance.
William Jennings Bryan
The great political questions are in their final analysis great moral questions.
William Jennings Bryan
If matter mute and inanimate, though changed by the forces of Nature into a multitude of forms, can never die, will the spirit of man suffer annihilation when it has paid a brief visit, like a royal guest, to this tenement of clay?
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
Evolution is not truth it is merely a hypothesis-it is millions of guesses strung together.
William Jennings Bryan
Most of the temptations that come to us to sell the soul come in connection with the getting of money.
William Jennings Bryan
