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
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
All the ills from which America suffers can be traced to the teaching of evolution.
William Jennings Bryan
The Bible holds up before us ideals that are within sight of the weakest and the lowliest, and yet so high that the best and the noblest are kept with their faces turned ever upward. It carries the call of the Saviour to the remotest corners of the earth on its pages are written the assurances of the present and our hopes for the future
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
Facts mean nothing unless they are rightly understood, rightly related and rightly interpreted.
William Jennings Bryan
An orator is a man who says what he thinks and feels what he says.

William Jennings Bryan
Atheists have just as much civil right to teach atheism as Christians have to teach Christianity agnostics have just as much right to teach agnosticism as Christians have to teach their religion.
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
Next to the ministry I know of no more noble profession than the law. The object aimed at is justice, equal and exact, and if it does not reach that end at once it is because the stream is diverted by selfishness or checked by ignorance. Its principles ennoble and its practice elevates.
William Jennings Bryan
Success is brought by continued labor and continued watchfulness. We must struggle on, not for one moment hesitate, nor take one backward step.
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
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
The Rock of Ages is more important than the age of rocks.
William Jennings Bryan
No one can earn a million dollars honestly.
William Jennings Bryan
Wars are sometimes waged to extend trade-the blood of many being shed to enrich a few.
